Kun-Yang Lin Dancers, Annielile Gavino and Wally Carbonell, in the fringe 2017 brought me to another exciting realization about dance that continues to challange my draftmanship. Below: images from Annielille Gavino's showcase at the Koresh Dance Studio in November 2016 is part of her piece, HERstory. It was around this time when I had encountered the energy that Gavino is capable of expressing and sharing with other artists. Another Kun-Yang Lin dancer, Wally Carbonell, manifested a piece entitled, MILK, and it tested my imagination. The stage was littered with bodies as a pregnant woman, mystic, and goddess hovers over them. The women praise her and worship the ground she walks on. They move instantly and stop, the smack of their back or the breathing coming from the dancers was interesting, but there was a time when the place completely transforms. The light changes, but it was this continuous cycle of women falling, rolling and replacing one after another that I tried to capture. This abstraction or personalities is what highlights the reality in Gavino's narrative. Kun-Yang Lin Dancers have been supportive of my practice and I appreciate their art and inventive, improvised movement, and dance theory that is practice in the studio and in their own practices.
