Solo is a piece in which I attempt to locate myself within dance history, and how that dance history related to popular dance and music. It is also an early piece about grief, as I had just left Pink Hair Affair and was mourning that collaboration deeply. How do you keep dancing when it feels like there is no external stimulus? How do the ghosts of everyone that has touched me live within my body or within a space? How does the ghost of the rehearsal space live within the supposed 'neutrality' of the theater space?
