🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes This Veterans Day 🎖️
Today, we pause to say a profound thank you to every veteran who has worn the uniform of the United States. Your commitment, courage, and sacrifice have secured the freedoms we cherish every single day.

Veterans Day is more than just a holiday—it's a solemn reminder of the true cost of liberty. To the men and women who have stood on the front lines, served in peace and conflict, and defended our nation with unwavering dedication:

Your service matters. Your stories inspire us. Your legacy endures.

Let's honor them not just today, but every day, by supporting our veteran community, listening to their experiences, and ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten.

Happy Veterans Day.

NOTES ON THE PIECE: Thank you to this amazing team of graduate and undergraduate students for their collaboration on this project. The concepts we have researched together while creating “nowhere” are the beginning inklings for an evening length work with my dance company. Throughout the process we experimented with how forces act on and in the body, and honed techniques for negotiating them when they are unruly and unpredictable. The process for “nowhere” kept forcing us back to the following question: Where do we pull the impetus to keep going from when everything in our immediate environment is telling us to stop?
