Employing elements of dance, Ashes explores the movement of the body and interaction among multiple bodies that bleed into one being. The bodies sway in and out of position while still in synchronized movement. One arm following another, followed by a third, and in this choreography a dance of flesh and surroundings is created. The subjects move in tune to their encompassing background and are aware of space and time-keeping. Like music, the subjects move in harmony. Distorted waves of twinkling sounds envelop the scene, causing uncertainty and chaos but the figures so elegantly continue to follow one another in seemingly organized footwork. Although the figure improvises movements, there is a harmony imbedded in the flesh. Ashes is a reflection of our physical beings falling in line with nature, movements that are organic and genuine because they are not predetermined. The exploration of body and movement play a roll in reaching the ephemeral quality of existence. Ashes is a dance, a song, a mirror of our bodies versus soul and nature.
