Just like a tree losing its leaves, sap seeping from its center, you shed your own skin. Only so you can keep growing, and let this new essence flow from within. You surrender to pain and let go, and everything you let go — comes back to you. Never left, was never lost. Alive in this beautiful dance that only you can feel.

Focusing specifically on long-distance relationships and how so much of the relationship lies in a shared vision of the future, «Orange Tree» explores the vast amounts of time actually spent alone dreaming of that other person in the relationship, imagining what your lives might be like one day.

Such a large-scale tragedy becomes a very personal and subjective statement of every woman about her experience.
Two thousand years ago, no one could have imagined that a woman is an independent person, but times are changing, gender prejudices disappear, and we can appreciate the strength of a woman’s nature.

Any cultural experience is based on images and symbols from the past. In the modern world, they are transformed, but they continue to surround us and broadcast something. It is interesting to explore your connection to them, because the world of ideas affects the material world, and vice versa.
In the film you will meet 3 types of creatures influencing each other — people, an ancient goddess/or the Sun/ and underworld spirits. You will also see birds-souls, a beast/or a guard/ or a threat.

Seven dance students, all of whom have learning/intellectual disabilities, collaborate to produce their first film. Each of the dancers were asked to write to their body, exploring how they perceived themselves, others and the world around them during the Covid-19 pandemic. Drawing upon their feelings and experiences, they choreographed sequences to portray their stories. https://youtu.be/whAxP4Q7Y9U;CLOSER;33:39;«CLOSER» has the connotation of intimacy, invitation, and anticipation. This project was conceived during the tumultuous year of 2020; the COVID pandemic has designated intimacy and physical connection as lethal, which is not something the world needs more of. More so, the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade in the United Sates has left us all traumatized, disappointed, and more divided than previously understood.
«CLOSER» intends to investigate the essentialness of human connection and act as a physical metaphoric bridge to allow cross-cultural discussions around the fallacy of any type of supremacy: we all have more in common, than differences. As a mixed company of Black, Latino, and White dancers, SOULSKIN hopes to spark conversations that center inclusion and anti-racism. With that, we believe that race and inclusion are necessary conversations that must be had in White communities as many systems of oppression are and have been created and maintained by those aligning with whiteness. Our target audience is ethnically inclusive and cross-political in hopes to embrace and educate, instead of ostracize. Banishing oppressive systems and bigotry should be everyone’s priority, and it is certainly SOULSKIN’s. «An Artist’s duty is to reflect the times»-Nina Simone.

Featuring contemporary dancers Richard Causer and Anthony Trojman as two men in the relationship, LOVE SONG is presented in a parallel, split-screen structure, highlighting two aspects of a relationship occurring concurrently.
The idea to present LOVE SONG in parallel structure opened up the idea to enhance the idea of alternative perspectives in a relationship and provide the viewer alternative perceptions of the dancers and story, permitting the viewer’s eye to follow what they wish and their perception to inform their experience of the story.
The story of LOVE SONG evolved in rehearsals, developed in collaboration with the dancers Richard Causer and Anthony Trojman.
