new roommates share space as once-close friends grow distant. while someone grows into the person they’re meant to be, another learns new ways of moving through the world. amidst the honk of geese and the punch of shrimp, two friends share an embrace. this light says i love you is a dance theater piece that explores human connection through closeness and across distance. created collaboratively by the cast, this brand new performance asks what it means to be near and far from the bodies around us.

An image from this light says i love you, an Honors Thesis in Directing. A laundry room is wash in warm light, while two individuals sit atop the machines. Above the laundry room is a still from a web-conferencing call featuring an individual in a green and red sweater. They have their hand over their mouth. Across from the laundry room is a living room illuminated in cool blue light. A solitary figure sits on the couch under a blanket.

Image from this light says i love you. Two figures stand in two different rooms but are only a few feet apart. They both hold phones to their ears as if in mid conversation. The figure on the left is a femme person in a light blue shirt and maroon pants. They stand in front of their kitchen stove. The performer on the right is masculine appearing, and wears a horizontal striped blue and white shirt. Neither of them are wearing shoes.
