Choreographer John Jasperse (NYC) will develop Remains (working title) in collaboration with composer John King. The work addresses the illusion of ego, the notion of a fluid boundary between the self and one’s environment, and the notion of legacy as the sum total of the energy that we put out into the world—what we build energetically in our environment through our actions and what we leave behind in our wake.
