The sleeping mind, with an eye before and an eye behind, rests. It becomes occupied by a theatre of its invention; unaware of the alarming figure that dances before it bearing at once a chilling resemblance to a horrifying past and a nullifying complacence to a harmless present. Can we look into our dreams to discover something imbedded in our unconscious that has been threaded into dream life and reveals a personal truth unbeknownst to the dreamer herself? If a dream scene can become loaded with such a potential revelation, can we likewise charge a sequence in dance with the same captivating uncertainty? 

The sleeping mind, without eyes, without ears, cannot rest. It is tangled in a swarm of reflections; prisoner to an arena of lawless sensations, seeing and being seen by images of itself and of its own invention. Should the revelation be achieved and, unfolded from amidst the veil of dream life lies a veritable self-truth long concealed, would you look?
