dc.description.abstract | In an evocative new contemporary work, “Our Marks are Our Stories”, choreographer Tracy McWilliams presents a dance piece that explores the powerful tension between nature and nurture – the innate purity we are born with and the life experiences that shape, challenge, and often distort that essence. Featuring a cast of 9 dancers, this piece uses stark contrasts in movement, lighting, and costume to investigate identity, influence, and the journey toward self-acceptance. With dynamic choreography, symbolic visuals, and an emotional narrative, this work invites viewers to reflect on how we navigate the forces that mold us – and how, through acceptance, we can emerge as truer versions of ourselves. | |
