Loss by Cassidy Isaacson
For our last Rewind Wednesday of the summer of 2021, we revisit Loss, Cassidy's emotional solo created for Lauren Pschirrer earlier this year, which she described as a way to express grief "when you don't know how to do it in words." Loss is lovingly sponsored by David Young and Donald Bird.
Terez Dean Orr has danced with Smuin since 2008, but it took a pandemic to get her into the choreographer's chair! Sabali is Terez's very first foray into choreography, and she struck gold on her first attempt. A colorful work that captures the celebratory side of dance, Sabali features Company Artists Tess Lane, John Speed Orr, and Max van der Sterre.
