“I read somewhere that a fingernail clipping contains the genetic blueprint of a whole person as well as an entire galaxy. The choreographer in me wants this as well. Wants the piece to expand outward and contract inward. Wants the dancer to do the same. Wants the viewer to lean forward into the space and peek into a hole seeing another galaxy that is strikingly like her own but strangely unfamiliar.”
