About: COLORING is an evening-length work for six dancers and one guest drag queen/live cellist. Inspired by themes of identity and unity, COLORING asks the question “What do we have in common?” and draws inspiration from personal narratives, interviews and bodies of artwork from LGBTQ people.
Motivated by a sense of urgency to find commonality at this time in history, the work includes research on the lives and work of queer people and is intended to bring awareness to commonalities of humans, regardless of identity or background. COLORING is structured as episodic dances, which become more colorful over time.
Press:
"The mood (of COLORING) is one of radical vulnerability,” “Eloquent sincerity”

About: An evening of dances reflecting on human connection. The four works included in Deserts can be viewed as chapters of a whole and were all made within the course of two years. They can also be presented individually or as a collection of two or more.
Press:
"UNA Projects’ Deserts is a unique mode of dance presentation...it reads as an EP, or a collection of essays – each segment at once complete and limitless in potential."
