Program Note
Discovering who you are can be a dark and uncertain moment in an individual's life. However, accepting and growing into your identity feels like a storm has cleared and the sun is finally out again. There is a noticeable lack of queer women representation within the dance world. This piece is a nod to this lack and provides more representation on the subject.

Program Note
It's nothing but a whisper, a shimmer, a fragment of something just barely visible. Is a scintilla of virtuosity worth the risk of failure? Hold onto that spark. Ideas shape the world, and every idea must begin a scintilla.

Inspired by religious trauma syndrome (RTS), this work explores the effects of RTS. RTS is a form of PTSD that is experienced by those who are leaving or have left a dogmatic/authoritarian religion.
