Jorge Luis Morejon, (live), and Linda Bair (on video) dance to Alma (Soul), a piece created despite their distance from each other. Alma expresses their connection in dance even though the two dancers live in different cities, on opposite sides of the U.S. The piece establishes the possibility of having a conversation in dance with someone who is not physically present, but whose soul, symbolized by the video, is on stage. Alma was premiered as part of the Art of Dance Festival, directed and produced by Michelle Grant-Murray, at the McCarthy Auditorium, Miami Dade College, Kendall, on November 8th, 2017.
