Named after Sonia Sanchez’s collection of haikus, Morning Haiku, this evening length performance leans heavily on the haiku as inspiration for its score. The strictness and simplicity of the poetic form provides the choreographic tools used to construct the piece—diligent and focused repetition of a phrase as if in meditation. Everything is stripped to its simplest form and there the naked essence of a subject can be experienced deeply, whether that be the inexplicable grief of changing seasons; the transformational momentum of death; or the subtle beauty of an afternoon sunbeam filtering through a semi-transparent curtain.
