I FOUND ME explores the reconciliation to self after a traumatic experience. This evening length dance work follows five dancer's journey to inner healing in the midst of great pain.
Once we were whole. At some point in each of our lives, trauma enters in various forms whether it's a broken family, a broken relationship, physical hurt and distress, the list goes on. It can look like a myriad of sitations, but at its most basic description, trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that breaks a person's spirit, safety, and self-connection. Leaving us separated from the very person we need most, ourselves. We develop coping strategies, habits, and relationships to guard ourselves from past pain. We think the answer is to forget what happened, however our hearts have a habit of talking to us. They let us know that there is brokenness within us. We can live our whole lives ignoring our hearts or we can choose to go back to those memories and rewrite, reimagine, and reclaim the painful places. We have to dive deep into our own hearts and heal in some of our darkest memories in order to walk in freedom and real change. If we hide from painful memories, they have power over us. And then brokennes is speaking louder than our hearts. Brokenness doesn't have to rule us, but we do have to actively pursue healing to connect to self again.
The choreographer's personal experience has led her to create dances that explore healing and trauma and the important connection to self that is too often lost. She is passionate about connecting to her own heart even if it means reliving painful memories in order to rewrite them. She believes that this is both a human experience and a corporate experience and works for the healing of everyone around her, including whole cultures and countries.
