Elliptical Fictions

Inpired by my solo, Elliptical Fiction, Elliptical Fictions expands upon the movement technique and philosophy of Tai Chi Chen. Elliptical Fictions incorporates the idea of yin and yang, and integrates seemingly opposing ideas. The phrase, the curve searching towards the line and the line searching towards the curve was one of the integral ideas for this performance.
