give it up, nothing matters

Your piece was my NUMBER ONE!
— Brian Friedman
It was stunning! I was floored by it truly.
— Tessandra Chavez

Note from Azuki:

This piece was hugely inspired by Aidan Carberry’s trio work that utilized a huge lamp in their work. I was curious about the use of lights, and how that can be reflected through my quick movements. After buying over 15+ flashlights, this investigation brought much importance to simplicity yet effectiveness. I am thankful for my dancers who were a part: Ande Godwin, America Sanchez, Allyson Feltner, Jennifer Vieweg, Jimena Casasola, Sarah Laskowski, Nia Kester, Cienna Hintz, and Jessica Escobar.

Thank you to everyone who watched this experience. This was created vulnerably from the bottom of my heart.
