GARDEN KISSES BY GIVĒON

You must be wondering...

What's really going on here?!

Let me introduce you to my creation. I am here to establish the meaning of this project. This visual idealizes a calm energy. You are entering into a garden of emotional depth. The intention was meant for the audience to experience something different. Something unknown. Imagine you're on a ride, on a journey through movement. The dancers were placed in a state of relaxation and ease, which allowed them to portray emotional acceptance. As artists, we love to showcase our art and share with the world what we are capable of. I hope to instill creativity in others while being inspired at the same time.

Garden Kisses by GIVĒON has its own concept. He explained that he wanted to write a piece that explored “sexuality.“ Giveon’s inspiration to this song arose from an analogy of a garden. He said, “You must be gentle, caring, and selfless- just like intimacy”. Like him, I wanted to captivate my viewers' gaze by transporting them into my reality. This dance visual exemplified pure authenticity. It exhibits some sort of rawness to it. I choreographed movement to match his voice and musicality, I then guided these individuals with improvisational exercises. My dancers allowed me to be flexible, while enabling themselves to explore vulnerability in movement. With that being said, I hope this evokes a sense of calmness and ease when viewing my creation.
