Two dancers in modern gold costumes are caught mid movement, hands outstretched towards the other.A young woman stares into the camera with wind-swept hair across her face. Her right arm shields her with a sleeve of black feathers.Two females stand close together under a spotlight with their focus on a single paper crane balanced in one dancer's handA woman in a little black dress stands barefoot in sand with greenery surrounding her. Her right hand is places on her chin and her left off to the side as her body is poised crossed beneath her.In the distance we see a female dancer in motion. Her body is arched to her left side with her chest open and arms outstretched behind her. Her long brown hair is down parallel to her black dress. She is surrounded by a cement arch pathway and greenery behind her.A woman in gold pants and a cream top stands in a green field. She's balanced on one leg with the other in the air by her face and her arms resting between.A large mass of dancers wearing all white face inward punching their fist in the air towards one dancer. The lone dancer wears a black overcoat and stares directly forward. Lani is outside of the mass beginning to run in a circular pattern around the rest of the dancers.A woman in a gold haze of light balances on one leg in a desert captured in all black with black fabric billowing around her shape.Two young females with their hair down dance in matching red silk slips on a bridge that creates a rust colored cage above them.Lani stares directly ahead with her arms extended to her sides like wings while a male dancer lifts her from behind. She is wearing a neon orange long sleeve, form fitting black pants and a middle part with a heavily slicked back bun.A young woman is photographed mid jump with one leg in front of her and the other behind. She wears a black long sleeve, jeans, and black boots in front of the Dumbo bridge.Dancers dressed in all white stand lunging and gesturing inward toward one older dancer in a black dress with red trim. The lone dancer's arms are raised as she looks upwards.Three dancers wearing all blue. One female holds tightly to the back of the standing male dancer. He holds another dancer's hips on his head as her legs are extended in the air.In the foreground we clearly see a bundle of martial arts staffs. In the background we see a ground of dancers in motion moving across a blue stage in rehearsal clothes.A young woman in a black mesh and lace long sleeve and red lipstick is photographed at an upward angle with a tree behind her. She mimics the tree with her left arm growing upward behind her and her other arm twisting around herself.
