Repertoire

This piece follows the journey of those who struggle with body dysmorphia, eating disorders, anxiety, etc. and the struggles that they face within working through that in the dance world. Specifically, the song has a lyric in the chorus “we won’t be 21 again” that really speaks to the story of being trapped in your head. Despite being young and experiencing what are supposed to be the best years of our lives, we are constantly dealing with these issues that prevent us from living our best lives. The piece really shows us how beautiful our lives truly are and how being trapped in our heads is acting as a barrier from us reaching our full potential as dancers. Towards the end of the piece, we see the dancers breaking through their heads and we see them start to grow past all of these issues and insecurities that lay before them.

“We fall in and out of relationships, but we never lose the memories that come” Umarmt follows the different stories and interactions that one encounters within their relationships throughout life. We see the dancers weave in and out of each other just as people come into and out of each other's life. Think of the piece taking place in a circular motion, where one enters, shares, and then leaves the space, only to have imprinted and left their mark on another for the rest of that individual's life.
