“You, Me, and My 23andme”
Choreographed by Emma-Rose Allen; Performed by Emma-Rose Allen and Marcella Thille
This work bears the brunt of family baggage to carefully consider: what are the things we get from our parents? TVs, dishes, susceptibilities… We find ourselves weighed down in the intersection of grief and mental illness, constantly seeking ways to find connection, catharsis, and a way to move the hell on. I dedicate this work to my father David Christopher Allen/Super Dave/Papa. Forever my coach, forever your daughter.
