"and all of this would turn to memory, and from memory to whimsical dream, and from whimsical dream to childhood fantasy, until they began to really wonder, what does is mean to grow up…?"
Topiary Horses (2007-2009) is a magical realist dance drama, and a journey into childhood wonderment and fantasy that explores the role of imagination in our lives, including themes of individualism verses culture/society, and the role of time and aging in relationship to this. The work combines dance and theater along with projected poetic text inspired by silent movies, and unfolds like an old western mystery.
