Aliens

A high-flying duet of balances and counterweights, performed on the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center.

Aliens is a duet with Emily Berry built on weight and trust — two bodies leaning, lifting, and balancing against one another until it's hard to say where one ends and the other begins. Leaps land in unison and lifts hang a beat too long, the partners passing momentum back and forth.

Performed on the Millennium Stage at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, DC.
