Seattle International Dance Festival 2024

Just Love, premiered as a 20’ excerpt at the Seattle International Dance Festival 2024 Inter|National Series.

SIDF dance photographer, Jim Coleman, had these words to say about the work: “Beautiful new quartet, so interestingly musical in the ebbs and flows of its action, and such a sweetly harmonious group of dancers.”

Cyrus Khambatta, Artistic Director/Founder of Seattle International Dance Festival and Khambatta Dance Company, shared the following thoughts on the performance: “…the work felt complex and rich, with

intricate patterns, that were at once simple but full of depth, like watching time-lapse photography of an ornate flower going through its process of opening and closing, twisting and turning to catch the brilliance and radiance of the sun as it moves through the sky. The work felt harmonious yet full of vibrance, and the dancers seemed to move as if inhabited by a larger purpose or power. It was simultaneously satisfying and fulfilling while bestowing a sense of peace and ease. The work seems a rare specimen indeed.”
