What does your old home look like?
What does your old home feel like?
What did you have to do to adjust to your new home?
Together with participating artists, Nadya was exploring a variety of answers to these questions through the movement language, adapting the dance to the landscape of the Old Fourth Ward Tower Plaza.
During the residency, Nadya explored the art of adapting to new circumstances and "homes." This theme holds deep personal significance for Zeitlin, as she recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of her relocation from her hometown, Almaty, Kazakhstan, to the United States.
