What if there were angels moving among us on earth? Jennifer Archibald explores this intriguing possibility in her work Wings, an unabashedly emotional portrayal of interactions between angels and humans. Set to an ambient score by veteran dance composer Michael Wall, Archibald’s movement is ferocious yet vulnerable, showcasing both the dancers’ athletic prowess and raw honesty.
