Concepts and Goals
COCACHI Seeks to understand dance from a different perspective - from the point of origin - and from that point to return to the natural state of one's body while engaging in improvisational dance. Additionally, to transform one's body from a virtual image to real material via video dance.
When performing Open Sesame with mentally challenged individuals, the artist comes to a more enlightened understanding of such persons and comes to see the nature of dance from a more different perspective.
Future Plans
To develop a form of dance expression which makes use of visual imagery (fluid, not static), expanding on the diversity of the artist's dance repertoire (e.g., Open Sesame, etc.).
