The Opposite of Killing explores change, anger, understanding, confusion, and sorrow, related to the absence of a close friend. The work was originally created during a seven day residency at the New Bulgarian University (Sofia), reworked, and presented at Dance Place, DC and Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, DC. In 2016 The Opposite of Killing was commissioned by Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company and since has turned into a featured work in their repertory (2016-2019). The company restaged the work for their 2026 season.
