Moxie (Straps)

We all have desires and opinions that are not shared by everyone around us. It's not uncommon that one may find it difficult to express some of these feelings due to outside social and political forces. It takes a certain amount of nerve to freely express oneself. Moxie is a straps act that expresses the force of character and determination that is able to break free of social and political stigmas. Inspired by Jazz and Hip-Hop, Moxie combines the strength and discipline of straps with the continuity of dance to create a more free flowing style.

 

Scars (Flying Silk)

When skin or organs are damaged, the body naturally wants to heal itself. Since the body cannot re-create healthy skin or tissue, it puts together new fibers that are not as functional as the original tissue, but that serve as a protective, useful barrier. When this barrier is completely healed, it is known as a scar. "Scars" is a flying silk act that expresses those individual pieces in all of us that are forever changed because of past emotional and physical injuries. Those pieces that help define who we are, and help protect us as we move through life.
