A trio based on a storyline that reflects a variety of diverse emotions and human complexities, playing with the passing of time and showcasing a series of personal stories in fragments and vignettes of specific memories. Through motion and dance, the audience can see these memories played out through the lens of each character. However, what is fascinating about memory is that it can be easily skewed. It can be distorted from actual reality, for it is always based on perspective, and with time, all memory is eventually wrapped. It is this window of opportunity where we tend to rewrite our story. With three dancers, The Memory of We shows how time can be fast forward, warped, rewound, and retold. With an explicit theatrical and visceral choreographic exploration, the work plays with memory and team, pulling on humanity's hopefulness.
"I want to create a choreographic plot around the beauty and lucidity of Memory. I want to play with how memory can be affected and felt in the body. Most importantly, I want the viewer to be able to see memories through different lenses and find the sensitivity, emotions, and nuances that run parallel to our own personal stories."
