NARCISSUS
“Loving one’s self is great in theory but the practice is significantly more challenging. Environmental factors such as home life, community, ethnicity, gender, and sexual identity all play roles in how we approach the person that looks back in the mirror. The creation of this piece explores this narrative via character work and movement study.” "NARCISSUS" - partly inspired by Greek mythology and the negative connotations that people perceive coming with self-love. And partially inspired by the flower itself and the beautiful side of that same coin.
Performed at the Ailey Studio and commissioned by Accent Dance NY.
