Latest project in residence

City Horses (2022)  is an urban choreography with a dozen dancers that reflects on the power and images of the female body in public space. A gallop through the cities, a living monument celebrating female courage and power. Playing with horses as a symbol of power, the dancers interact with architecture and statuary, reclaiming public space and writing the female version of history. City Horses is a dance piece that incorporates professional dancers from the cities where it is represented and offers these dancers the opportunity to perform in other cities.
