Performed at 2223.FISH as part of Mascher Dance Cooperative’s 2022 Fresh Juice.

Soundscore includes a course on CM Frames from MIT’s OpenCourse Lecture Series, as well as Erzeben Koma by Peter Eldh and Koma Saxo.

This solo is part of a current work-in-progress exploring math and my fictionalized father.
