Surfacing

‘The quartet addresses the idea of shedding a tough skin and finding the softness underneath. “The way we shed and re-grow a new skin, recognizing the ugliness and the beauty of it, you have empathy for it,” Cole said of her creative process.  A lot of the rehearsal process has been “about having an experience (when) you can just be present and hold the space with them.” The dancers’ metamorphosis influenced her shaping of the movement. Inviting new bodies into the room has been exciting for Cole,  the energy they have created together inspiring.’ — Lynn Colburn Shapiro, SeeChicagoDance
