30 unsure steps to my seat (2013)

30 unsure steps to my seat guides the audience through a multi-layered experience of movement and touch through sight deprivation. Kinesthetic exchange between dancers and blind audience members builds intimacy and personal connection to the movement. Sound created by the dance layers into their experience. Over the course of the piece, this tactile exchange combined with choreographed structures offers a completely new way to experience movement with all senses: sight, tough, sound, and kinesthetic empathy. ​
