Dance is a universal language, it fosters collaboration, trust, and an understanding across all borders though our shared human emotions and experiences. Regardless of the language we speak, or where we come from, dance connects us, and unites us through movement and music. Pointeworks strives to embody the international unity that dance can create. For our inaugural season, we have brought together a cast of 20 artists; 10 dancers, 5 choreographers, 2 composers, 1 pianist, and 2 visual designers. These artists come from Japan, Argentina, New Zealand, Ukraine, Hungary, Germany, Brazil, Guam, and all parts of the USA, and in June 2024 we will embark on our inaugural season of Pointeworks where we can share this international beauty and international collaboration with La Jolla and our San Diego communities.
We will present an excerpt of our work Meraki. This creation by choreographer Heather Nichols, is derived from the Greek root of the word Meraki (µεράκι), meaning the “essence of yourself”. Its translation transcends many languages and cultures and represents a universal concept of putting one’s love and a piece of oneself into their work. This work was made in musical collaboration with Ólafur Arnalds and Alice Sara Ott's The Chopin Project. The connection between the artists, the connection with the music, and the connection with the audience, touches on all facets of the universality of dance and the peace that it can harmonize across our borders.
