Millie Heckler and Samantha Lysaght
Millie Heckler and Samantha Lysaght are long-distance dance collaborators, living in Denver and New York. Meeting in Boulder, CO, the duo first found a connection through their virtuosity and theatricality. Heckler and Lysaght trained in a multitude of forms from both Western and Africanist traditions. This layering of information emerges in their work as they attempt to sort through the messiness and complexities of femininity, power, privilege, and fear. The two recently made their debut as collaborators at The Winter Wonder Festival in Cambridge, MA.
