How can risk, weight, and momentum disrupt the architecture of ballet’s prescribed gender expression?

​

Vestige utilizes ballet as a secret metaphor for embodied femininity. It contains references to archetypical femininity challenged by movement that unapologetically takes risks and engages with weight and momentum in conversation with shapes and weight-shifts that allude to ballet. Vestige bounces frantically and casually between my bodily perception of femininity and assertive, brazen, and weighted movement, evoking something that feels both new and natural.
