Exploring the infinite nature of the human soul, Wine and Roses uses a combination of movement derived from ordinary activities such as driving a car and those improvised from the ritual forms of Tai Chi. The dancers explore fluidity, definitive shapes and flight through the air, while establishing the language of relationships that celebrate wholeness and the connections between us.
“Wine and Roses a Quintet danced to a witty instrumental amalgam of Bach, opera and a selfmocking English song, delicately and pleasurably juxtaposes circumscribed and space-gulping dance.”
– Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times
