Awaken weaves original material with resonant choreography from Selwyn’s 25 years of rich repertory. The piece explores the struggle between distraction, a quest for certainty, and living in an embodied present. Selwyn’s athletic choreography dramatizes the complexities of staying grounded, connected, and present in a modern world of endless distraction, consumerism, and convenience.
