water in my ear
Choreography & Performance: Melinda Jean Myers
Music: Entire Populations Part IV - Jessica Moss - https://www.jessicamoss.net
Program Note: Grief feels like an invisible constant - something that is always present, but shifting with each breath, each step, each quiet observation. It feels like it is held and released simultaneously; it feels like waves; it feels like a big question. This work is a dedication to my mother, and to all who are experiencing loss.
