At the Heart of It
“[In] her initial choreographic outing, Michelle Quiner created a masterpiece.”
Critical Dance
“My piece explores the strength of a woman through several different facets,” says Quiner. “Strength is not one-dimensional – it can take on many forms and reveal itself in both big and small ways. The piece centers around resilience, persistence, guidance, and presence – qualities that lie at the heart of a strong woman.”
