After the realizaton that I have been making the same duet for two women for the past six years in differnet forms, I decided to combine these movement ideas into a new dance. Passegen is a mini retrospective in 15 minutes. I would like to thank the dancers who helped create the original work: Anne Lentz, Uta Takemura, Ashley Tuttle and Jean Freebury -- opening credits note for Passagen.
