The 5 dancers are blindfolded in this section and can’t see each other or the stage. It took A LOT of rehearsal to learn the exact movement pathways, facings and how to not accidently hit each other. It also took a lot of time, vulnerability, patience and trust. I love this part of Clear & Sweet and I absolutely loved working with these amazing dancers. When I said, I want to do this section (of complicated partnering between 5 dancers) blindfolded, they didn’t hesitate and we figured it out. I couldn’t make the work I make without all the incredible dancers I am fortunate enough to work with!
