stone leaf shell skin
tone leaf shell skin (2014) was a trio created for dancers Ric Brown, Mateo Galindo Torres, and Sean Ling; featuring a commissioned score by Juno-nominated composer Heather Schmidt, performed by cellist Shauna Rolston. stone leaf shell skin was inspired by the pristine, exquisite, and highly eroticized black and white photographs of Edward Weston. The choreography captured the essential duality of male and female, and the tension of imagery that careens from the actual, to the abstract and erotic.
