Choreography: Susan Marshall

In only five minutes this concise gem is built almost entirely upon natural gesture. Set to an original score by Academy Award-winning composer and hip-hop producer Luis Resto, ARMS is a structured series of entanglements that create a unique narrative about the relationship of two individuals.

"A compact masterpiece ... pride and pain,
to need and reconciliation."

- Pittsburgh Tribune Review


"Marshall's choreography cut sharply between
the soft giving in of flesh and soul and
the forceful lashing out of emotional hunger and disdain."

- Dance Magazine
