Elizabeth, the dance pays homage

• to visionaries and teachers whose shoulders we stand upon
• to the history of dances that have inspired this one
• to the walls outside ourselves and within
• to copyright, access, ownership, oppression
• to the activists and artists who have paved the way
• to dancers as shamans
• to those that shame us
• to those that inspire our liberation
• to the joy, disappointment and mystery of desire
