Blooming Flowers and the Full Moon
Winner of 2024 Isadora Duncan Dance Award for Performance
CHOREOGRAPHER
As the Artistic Fellow for Amy Seiwert’s Imagery, I created a new dance work for SKETCH 13. The work premiered in July 2023 at ODC Theater in San Francisco.
Blooming Flowers and the Full Moon explores the ache of lovers in their first encounter and the shared experience of life-changing love. Based on my parent’s meeting in Taiwan, my father has luck to thank. As a member of the Air Force in the ‘60s, he played a game of Rochambeau with a friend; The winner would receive the base spot in Taiwan. He went on to live in Taiwan for nearly two years, met, and fell in love with my mom. The rest is history.
