us about yourself I was about five when I first fell in love. That was the year that I focused on dance, after my physician’s recommendation that it could help my Scoliosis. I can still remember stepping into the dance studio for the first time and feeling happy and excited. I was ready to test my physical limits and be free. Due to my medical conditions, outside of the dance studio I was bombarded with “could nots”. I could not do sports because a hit to the back of the head could…

Some main points of the play that interested me were the amazing use of lighting, how well the costume designs were executed…

of how they could not recall a time when they were completely healthy or think of a joint that was one hundred percent pain free. My teachers used to joke to my class, “You are never healthy, so if you stop to heal before dancing again you’ll never dance!” Thus, perpetuating the ingrained culture of dancing through pain.

In the beginning of this dance piece, I was intrigued by the different tones of colors on the stage and his costume that grasped my attention. During this dance piece, Columbus used strong outward focus, rolling, leaping, turning at a quick pace, and deep breathing phrases. Along with these movements, I was able to grasp onto what I thought the main message was.
