Shopping for Tankinis (2023)

Choreographed and performed as a part of the 2023 Advanced Choreographic Investigations course showcase at Indiana University Contemporary Dance.

During the idea generation of this work, I had been working on another work whose content was heavy and all-consuming. This created the mental necessity of a creative outlet that found some lightness and humor amid that. Also I love stand-up comedy.
