HOLDING PATTERN
Grasp/Hold Fast/Hold Sway

Holding Pattern is a collection of three dances that focus on the repeating behaviors we find in and around us. The piece opens with Grasp a solo that explores the terrain of unrelenting thoughts and charts the unfolding of one woman’s mind as she braves her buried memories.

 In Hold Fast two dancers are bound by a constant connection, woven together by limbs and joints as they incessantly wind, unwind, propel and restrict.

 Through reoccurring images and interactions that range from tender to oppressive, the closing duet, Hold Sway maps a continual struggle for control.
