A Temporary Seal

Created for Luminarium Dance and The Monkeyhouse's 24 Hour Choreofest in May 2020

This screen dance was a response to the visual prompt of the Pennsylvania State Seal. It was constructed and presented over 8 hours during the Choreofest. During this rapid fire process I was considering how it feels to be sealed into a particular state of being - the state of quarantine in suburban New Jersey or the imaginary identifications with a nation-state.
