5 dancers from Hamlet are in motion. Their arms are clasped over their heads and they are leaning back as they fall onto a knee. They wear asymmetrical black costumes and the cyc is brilliant orange.

Hana and Christine’s bodies are tangled as their chests press against one another, arms reaching past each other. They are a mass of black fabric and extended arms, low to the ground, knees bent, a yellow cyc behind them. Hana is a strong Asian woman with her straight black hair pulled half up on her head, the lower half of her head shorn short.

Christine and Jasmine squat in a low, wide position, leaning to one side. Their hands are clasped at their hips, muscles taut, and their bodies are shrouded in shadow. Behind them the cyc is pillars of blue and pink gradients. Jasmine is a petite but strong black woman with her hair pulled in cornrows.

Hana looks down at Anna. Anna lies on the floor with her feet to the audience. One finger is extended upwards above her body. Behind them the cyc is a starlight blue. Silhouettes of Nana and Jasmine walking across the stage are in the background.

Anna and Hana embrace with their arms stretching past one another, wrists extended. They lean against one another in this unfinished embrace. Anna is tall and lean with white olive-hued skin. She has brown hair which is pulled into a textured pony tail.

Hana reaches her leg behind her in a high, long line. Her chest is raised and she gazes directly offstage. Anna is in the background, her eyes are downcast, her leg is bent and tipped up high to her side. The stage is gradients of royal blue.

A white light cuts through the blue and purple haze. In the foreground Anna and Christine pull away from each other, their half skirts making a strange silhouette. Anna’s hand is on her forehead and Christine is gazing at her as they pivot. In the backdrop panels are backlit with Nana in motion on the floor and another body pressed against a panel.

Christine’s face registers the intense exertion in her body as she crawls forward, eyes glaring onto the inky floor, lower lip bit. This image is shrouded in blackness with just a pale foot, arm, and face emerging from the blackness.

Hana, Christine, Jasmine, and Anna kneel with their backs to the audience. Their hands are extended above their heads in two fists. The light is hazy in rectangular shadows.

Christine’s body is bent forward in a stark pool of white light. Her hands are on her heart and behind her an inky mist arises from a yellow cyc.

Against an orange gradient the silhouette of Christine arched backwards. Her mouth is open wide, neck taut, short hair falling back, hands released at her side.

Christine is in the air, body extended, toes pointed over Hana. Hana is on the floor between her legs, hands reaching to her face as she moves on her side. A white light cuts through the blue/black light. In the background Kevin, the ASL interpreter, watches on a stool.

Hana and Christine are on a purple black stage. They are on their knees. Hana reaches behind herself, back to the audience. Light bounces off Christine’s bare neck, arm, and face. Her fist is behind her, her mouth is open and tipped back, her neck and chest taut and tense.

Five bodies are tangled. Nana stands tall, his walut skin and strong body still as Christine’s arms reach past him. Hana kneels on the floor, eyes looking toward Nana’s feet and above her, resting into the crevasse of her body is Jasmine. From the huddle Anna’s arm emerges. Behind them, a blue, pink, and yellow gradient.

Nana’s feet are grounded as he leans back. His arms are open and rounded, one reaching to the sky as the other releases to the floor. His black hair is pulled on top of his head. One shoulder is covered and his broad chest is exposed through a diamond cutout. Behind him and out of focus are Anna and Hana, looking on. The cyc is a brilliant purple and gold gradient.

Christine’s mouth is open and her neck muscles are sinewy with tension. Her hands are open but claw-like as she contracts forward with her face tipped to the sky. This is a silent scream.

Jasmine is on a blue stage with gray textured panels in the background. She wears black and scaly asymmetrical clothing. Her finger points and she moves forward, gaze intense.

Nana stands behind Jasmine who stares at Christine. Christine, Hana, and Anna are hinged back, hands gnarled on their heads, knees bent as they sink to the earth. The scene is shadowed and purple.

Nana squats behind a panel, body falling forward and arm reaching back. His shadow is larger than life, silhouetted in an amoeba-like reflection on the cyc behind him, displaying his whole silhouette, even that hidden behind the panel.

Christine and Jasmine peek out from behind a gray textured panel in stark light. Christine is on the ground in front, Jasmine standing and inclined forward from behind. Their eyes are fixed on something beyond the frame.

Nana is on his knees crawling forward with Jasmine clasping her arms around his neck, her body laying across him. Their skin is almost silver in the stark light, shadows of the panels like skyscrapers on the cyc.

Five dancers of varying heights are in silhouette against a bluish purple cyc. Their arms are raised to their shoulders, muscles taught, mid-stride. They wear black clothes with asymmetrical silhouettes, half skirts and sleeves creating texture on their bodies.
