“Clarity & Connection”, inspired by the book from author Yung Pueblo, delves into the concept of self-awareness, and how we cannot form healthy relationships with others until we have a strong understanding of ourselves. Following the five chapters of the book (Self-Awareness, Unbinding, The Love Between Us, Growing, and A New Life), Artistic Director Jared Baker takes us on this narrative through the mediums of dance and music. Each chapter explores a different part of the process of understanding ourselves, the experiences that have shaped us, and the ways in which we connect with the people around us.Told from the perspective of different individuals, this evening-length work also draws from the personal stories of each artist, as we all have different, unique, and complex experiences, yet similar struggles and challenges to overcome in life. Throughout the piece, we are taken on a journey of letting go of past trauma, connecting deeper with our relationships, and healing into a new version of ourselves. The work explores the ways in which our past experiences can influence how we see ourselves and how we interact with others, while reminding us that healing and growth are ongoing processes.
This season, Nova Linea brings “Clarity & Connection” back to the stage through a remounting of the work. While the foundation of the piece remains, the work has been revisited, adjusted, and reimagined, allowing the artists to explore the material through new perspectives and experiences. As we continue to grow and change, so too can our understanding of the stories we tell. This return to “Clarity & Connection” offers an opportunity to revisit these themes of self-awareness, connection, healing, and growth, while discovering what new meaning they can hold for us today.
