The individuals each had a loved person transcribe the original dance into a written score, which we worked with to devise new movements. During the rehearsal process, each performer produced writings which became the voiceover to the movements. The project takes the form of a film essay. — Cherrie Yu ***** Cherrie Yu is an artist born in Xi’an, China.
