| Description |
Ava is the Samoan word for the passage through a reef…'I've used the reef as a metaphor for the possibiity of a journey. It's an opening…I'm not concerned with beautiful choreography. What I'm saying is let's expand the concept of dance. What is dance to a crippled person? A person with no eyes? |
