March 13, 2021: What Lives In The Gray performed by Mari Rada and Yukina Sato. Choreographed by Cylene Walker-Willis in collaboration with dancers. Music is Amnesia by Jorge Mendez. The world we live in is not always black and white, not binary. Things are not typically either/or. It would be a lot easier if it was. I live in the gray. This dance explores the idea of “the gray,” “the in-between,” and everything that it brings.*This dance originally debuted at the Oklahoma Contemporary Dance Festival
