Between Tracks (2024)
Documentation of a practice born out of shared adrenaline with Madison Wada, Yaeji’s “Passed Me By,” and the liminal backstages of venues with capacities varying from 1,000-15,000 over three continents. The secret choreography happening simultaneously and invisibly to the rest of the show.
