"Petals" choreographed by Emerson Donohoe for Chapman U's Works in Progress Concert 2022

"Petals" unfurls as an exploration of love's delicate journey, embodied by three dancers representing the stages of a blossoming romance. Evoking the evolution of a rose, their lace-clad forms reveal the vibrant hues of passion and the somber depths of sacrifice, navigating the euphoria and shadows of affection until the piercing realization shatters the illusion of love. As these feelings converge, their intertwined fate mirrors the bittersweet cycle of growth and loss, echoing the fleeting beauty of petals falling to the ground.
