"A Dissonant Arrival explores the contradiction of trying to find one's unique character in the midst of a pre-existing environment. Pulsing with jumps, turns, falls, and impressive stops, the dance seethes with the tension of deciding whether to embrace the lone road ahead or to give in and relinquish oneself to the conformity of social expectation." - Jen Passios
