Yulia Arakelyan (Portland), Kathryn Hightower (Seattle), and Kimberly
Kaplan (NYC) met while Dance Majors at the University of Washington. The three budding artists had early success with their first dance projects together, and couldn’t bear to part when two graduated and moved to new cities. For the past three years, they have collaborated via videos, emails, blogs, and late
night phone calls, to create dance that explores “barriers” in all their forms.
Very delicate and serene, like the music box at the beginning, like the tissue paper itself, like the dancer on the screen. The paper seemed so free, like a living creature, until you crumpled it up at the end. I felt pain when you did this. Somehow you built an attachment between the viewer and the paper! Very well done! I also love how you worked your way around the music issue.
The paper came to life. The environment of the sound, scenery, and flowing paper drew me in to a small universe full of breath. I felt connected to the amazing delicate control you embodied. The paper seemed to be devoured by you at the end. This felt complete.

@Kimberly: I totally agree. It was fragile and moving.
