Charlotte premiered a new work on her students at Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. /
Charlotte premiered a new work last weekend at Cornish Playhouse in downtown Seattle.
The work was choreographed in collaboration with her students at Cornish College of the Arts.
Lines Drawn was conceived as if a ritual for an imagined community to move through daily, to repeatedly define their world over and over as if movement created the world, and vice versa.
