Featuring choreography by Dance faculty Jess Pretty and dance students Vy Nguyen and Hina Sasaki.
Of her work, Jess Pretty writes, “Who we are is a direct reflection of who we are in relationship to. Much of this work looks at methods of relations as a pathway to understanding the self. This work is archival and intimate, relying on the personal story as the grounds for research. What I hope to display is in many ways a living archive, and in most ways a celebration of bodies moving together.” Always and Forever is the first chapter of a larger work that Jess is making titled Call and Response, which will premiere in June 2024 at the Chocolate Factory Theater in New York City.
