Q. What is one thing that has stood out to you through the creation process?

A. The nature aspect of the choreography stood out to me. 

Q. Describe the style of movement: how does it relate to your character, and how has your experience been dancing it so far?

A. I’m not sure what my character will be yet, but the general movement is very grounded and stylized after nature.

Q. Why see The Rough-Face Girl?

A. The Rough-Face Girl will be something different from anything Ballet 5:8 has done before. The nature motif that is seen throughout the ballet will be something intriguing to watch.
