Where I End. at CLARA Auditorium – Sacramento, CA

Where I End is an immersive dance-theatre work that examines how we are shaped, pressured, and often consumed by systems that ask us to work, produce, and perform—until we begin to lose sight of who we are beneath it all.

Through contemporary movement, physical theater, and vertical elements, the dancers move through cycles of repetition, compliance, resistance, and collapse. Bodies become products, labor becomes identity, and individuality slowly erodes under the weight of expectation. What begins as structure and order gives way to fracture, questioning, and the quiet realization that something essential has been lost.

At its core, Where I End is not just about burnout or systems—it is about remembrance. A return to self. A return to each other. The work traces the moments when connection re-emerges, when community interrupts isolation, and when we begin to reclaim our humanity through presence, care, and shared breath.

Rather than offering answers, the piece invites audiences to reflect on their own relationship to productivity, worth, and belonging—and to consider what might be possible if we paused long enough to remember who we were before we were asked to become something else.

Where I End is a call back to ourselves, and to the communities that help us find our way home.
