Note: Frozen Angels is a work that is inspired by an exhibit of Greek figure sculptures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. These works of art are on display in a room with windows on the ceiling that allow light to bathe them in a glorious manner, yet upon detailed inspection their cracks and imperfections become pronounced with shadow. This dance work embodies the breaking apart of these characters and their stories in an exploration of how myth and lore reveal truths about our human nature.
