Choreographer

Created during a week of an inaugural fellowship with Ballare Carmel Dance Company in January 2023.

Saudade is an emotional state of melancholic or profoundly nostalgic longing for a beloved yet absent something or someone. It is often associated with a repressed understanding that one might never encounter the recipient of longing ever again. The piece touches on themes of nostalgia, loss, love, and friendship.
