In December of 2020, I applied to a creative residency with a Boston based dance company whose residency would be a live concert but instead of in a premier Boston theatre, virtually.
The theme for the residency that year was Embodying Liberation. I was one of eight artists selected and it was a heck of an experience! I had ten minutes perform my piece and instead of live or filming on location in Boston, I created my first Video Essay, moving from my short dance on video which I call Video Studies to fuller length video productions that to me reflect a mini documentary.
