Growing up as a performer and dancer inspired this collection that presents the nakedness and vulnerability of a dancer both onstage and offstage. What goes on behind the scenes? How does struggle reflect on the stage during a performance? What cannot be seen by the naked eye of the audience vs a dancer?

Adage is a magical escape into ballet and an ode to the discipline it yields.
