Ich Mir, translated to I Myself, was created between Winter of 2015 and Spring of 2016.

 

It is a solo piece that heavily resonates themes such as personal discovery, emotional trauma and inner judgment. The dance posed a difficulty due to its relation to personal ideals; however I feel this helped create the outcome of a pure and raw, emotional piece.

 

Whilst developing the material I did not set out to create a 'performance'; rather a living piece; one in which the audience and individual performing it can understand and emote with passionately and truthfully. I believe personal interpretation is what can make a piece of choreography meaningful.
