Mascall Dance October Residency 2024
Dance Party - Oct. 18, 2024
Title of Dance: My Mirror
For our October non-transactional residency, each Artist In Residence was tasked to create a dance to share with guests at the party. The title of this dance is, “my mirror”
The inspiration behind this dance:
I’m in a dance studio space every day, so I’ve grown accustomed to seeing myself in the mirror all the time. There are days when I look at myself and am happy with how I present, and there are those days when I wish I didn’t have to see myself. During the party, I asked the guests to use either one of their hands as a mirror and do different poses as they moved, danced, or stayed still in the space. At the same time when they look away from the mirror, they have to create an expression through their face. For me, this represents the reaction we have when looking at ourselves, and how that transcends into how we treat and talk to ourselves as human beings. This night was so much fun and extremely grateful for the love and support!
Biggest thanks to Mascall Dance for this residency and to the other AIR who shared their love for movement!
