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.
