I Cried Alone In The Summer

“This piece confronts the objectification of the female body, challenged by the stereotypes of beauty. The women in this dance use a sense of "game play" to create tension with their consumers; seducing, disgusting, and disappointing them. In the end, this dance reveals the vulnerability of women aiming to wake up this crazy world.”
