fragmentos EP
a visual/danced EP

I was interested in creating a work composed of fragments, with multiple changes in contrasting scenes, music, and moods. The notion of fragments was inspired by the structure of a musical EP. In music, an EP is longer than a Single but shorter than an album (LP/Long Play). I wondered, what would a danced EP look like?
