Lucky Charms

Choreographers: Emma Andre, Henry Winslow

Dancers: Emma Andre, Henry Winslow

Music: “Lucky Charms” by The Moldy Peaches self soothe

"We created this piece collaboratively over the last year. It started when Emma suggested a game, based on the back and forth verses in the music, and we went back and forth creating steps. We gradually added images and ideas, and a whimsical, abstract sense of story, relationship, and characters built up in response to the song."

In The Beginning

Choreographer: Angus Wu

Dancer: Angus Wu

Music: by Nathan Burke

The piece started with an affection towards the sunlight on our skin. Its warmth and its light give life to many life forms. Bacteria, plants, mammals and ecosystem, the sun plays a role in it and beyond our planet, it also plays a role to hold the solar system in its orbit. As I continued to read further into the solar system, the knowledge about gravity and the complexity of universe is beyond the human mind - It is amazing! As the research continued, the person of Jesus came into the picture. For he has great affection towards us, he created this universe and his love is the force that holds it all together.

Spiraling
