A conversation with the fragments of oneself and a search for unity.

As I dance and perform with my puppet, I am constantly discovering not only an infinity of movement possibilities but also how delicate and subtle variation in manipulation trigger surprising, tragic, and beautiful emotional responses from the audience. This inspires me to continue investigating and in this second creation fusing puppetry, gesture and dance, I focus on finding a balance between dancer and puppet, establishing two beings yet merging them into a single entity.
