“Somewhere to Nowhere” by Babette Lam
– “Doors opening and closing like our thoughts getting tired and stuck, left alone with what we often try to cover up. Hoping and wishing but not knowing when we’ll get to leave our new nowhere to open the doors to our old somewhere.”
“Digitally Stitched” by Saki Morimoto
– Fort Wayne Ballet’s second choreographic work created in isolation.
“scrubbies.” by Jordan Stevens
– exploring movement in water
“Familiar Distance” by Jocelyn Magons
– our first choreographic work created in isolation. “With the current status of the world, our spirit for dance can only shine brighter. We stepped out of our comfort zones and into the sun so we could dance with each other, like we used to do everyday. Hence the title: ‘Familiar Distance.’ Though we are far from one another, our love for our art brings us together.” – Choreographer and Dancer, Jocelyn Magons
