Ain’t No Sunshine

Your Name
Choreographer: Suri Sun
The music I chose is the theme song from the animated movie called “Your Name” which is mainly about a high school boy in Tokyo and a high school girl in the Japanese countryside who suddenly and inexplicably begin to swap bodies. I was inspired by the lines from the beginning of the movie, which represents that characters feel incomplete and their eagerness to find each other.
Music: Zenzenzense by Radwimps
Dancer: Suri Sun

Yebba’s Heartbreak
Choreographer: Miyana Holden
This piece is danced to “Yebba’s Heartbreak” by Yebba and was inspired by one of the themes that I discovered: amidst the chaos in life you will always find a pocket of calm. When choreographing this piece, the tempo, cadence, angelic lyrics and meaning resonated with me and allowed me to manipulate the breaks and flow of movement I chose. I hope you enjoy this piece.
Music by: Drake and Yebba
Dancer: Miyana Holden
Opportunity

I believe everybody can connect in some way to the song that emphasizes a moment of opportunity. I’m glad to have this opportunity to choreograph something fun that invokes a positive feeling for all.
