Tiffany stands, arms at her side, subtly tensed, as she looks over her shoulder. Her eyebrows are raised and her mouth is parted with a look of trepidation
Tiffany lays upside down off a bench, her arms splayed to the side and her blond/gray hair falling to the floor. Her brow is furrowed.
Cast in darkness, Tiffany’s face is obscured. Her elbows are pressed into the earth as her feet push her forward
Hands on the bench, eyes downcast, Tiffanys leg is extended in a full split above her. In the doorway behind her, an audience member looks on.
Tiffany’s feet and legs are on the bench while her shoulders and arms are pressed into the floor. Her eyes are closed as if she is mid fall.
Tiffany sits vertically on the bench, one hand on her chest, one hand on her thighs, and her toes propped up. Behind her audience members look on
