ABOUT

Longing two was developed as a dual-location dance work that explores identity in the context of location and cultural perspective. Inspired by the international adoption process that Uchizono initiated to adopt a 4-to-6-year old girl from Nepal, the work used the idea of facing the issue of one’s choice rather than the necessity to create an identity was the springboard for material that Uchizono developed in two paired duets.
