Original Choreography by Lila Kushner, performed by dancers Lila Kushner, Trea Dipkin, Alana Stubbs and Jocelyn Scullion at Boston Conservatory

The Tibetan word, ཐུན་མཚམས། (pronounced Tundzam) means the point at which time and space connect. It may be used to describe the different times of day such as dusk and dawn, or intervals between meditation periods and post meditation practice when the mind transcends and remains present. Like the passing hours of a day or the shifting of seasons in a year, this work aims to explore chapters of our lives where changes in our personality, feelings, and self arises. As we live in a world that asks us to shrink, sell, and modify ourselves to fit into structures that profit off of our subconscious fear, how can we maintain calm and rediscover our individual power that helps us all collectively? For me, this work feels like a journal with many ups and downs and pages still being written. I hope we can take a step back, heal ourselves, and heal humanity. Performed by Sam Krachtus, Lila Kushner, and Jocelyn Scullion.
