Distractions

Come see the premiere of a brand-new dance by Elizabeth Mulkey!

The movement of "Distractions" was inspired by the concept of waves of overwhelming thoughts, and the way in which a single interaction - however brief or extensive - can become a lingering, haunting force. A rough sea of thoughts and memories can flood and possess reality. In just one being, there can exist many perspectives of the past, present, and future depending on which part of the individual the forgiving or the begrudging, the confident or the insecure is reminiscing. Attempting to separate from thoughts, can shed light on the difference between being consumed and reaching a sense of clarity.

Elizabeth Mulkey is from Venice Beach California. She received her BA in Dance and Theater from Loyola Marymount University. She has made a great rewarding career as a Pilates and Yoga teacher, working with dancers and a variety of other fun human beings.
