Analog comes alive between people.

It has form and texture, feeling almost as though it can be touched.
That’s how choreographer Jillian Meyers views analog.
Performers and their audiences give each other energy, connecting through their very breathing in the moment of a performance.
Jillian describes dance as a form of communication for emotions and storytelling, and it is in that very human and organic activity that she finds the value of analog.
Powerful yet kind, her gaze will likely shine a soft spotlight on your sensitivities as well.
