Residuals (住み・墨)

Residuals (住み・墨) draws visual, sonic, and physical influences from Japanese calligraphy. Dynamic brushstrokes inform Carter’s movement as she dances among sheets of translucent paper, evoking an abstracted memory of her Japanese grandparents’ rural home. Reliving these memories sparks a journey of self-discovery, where the layers of her identity begin to unfurl.

The performance also includes the premiere of a short solo, choreographed by Ziyian Kwan, commissioned and performed by emerging dance artist Juolin Lee. Entitled Daydream Shadow, the work is at tone poem that captures Kwan’s vivid imagery in tandem with Lee’s physical prowess.
