IF

This piece investigates group structures and the identity of individuals within. When does a group structure allow the individual to appear or disappear, to merge in or stand out? When does the group support or reject, include or exclude? In the process of bringing separate elements together, the piece found its own identity in the pure resonance of music and dance together.
