PRISONERS OF THE MOMENT draws inspiration from ichigo ichie, a Japanese concept denoting the uniqueness of every interpersonal encounter. It depicts lonely passersby using a series of once-in-a-lifetime encounters to root themselves in the present as they each continue to search for their life’s purpose. 

​

This work was created, in part, at Princeton University, as part of the Hearst Choreography Residency.
