SEASONED is a hybrid dance film and performance which navigates the spectrum of emotions that arise from human relationships. As one dancer moves through time, people and seasons shift, and viewers catch glimpses of distinct, intimate moments. Feelings of joy, vulnerability, frustration, desperation, chaos, and nostalgia emerge from the four nuanced, highly contrasting yet cohesive duets, allowing the audience to connect with their own experiences of love, loss, and friendship.
