"Departing from my impression of Graham's signature style of figurative representation - where bodies depicted in physical exchange lose the definition and contours of their shape, becoming amorphous while still retaining their distinctly humanoid characteristics - I will ask how changes in our bodies' forms may be triggered by recognizing the feelings of another in our own psycho-somatic anatomy. A study in embodied empathy, Yours and Mine pairs the vocabulary of contemporary dance with the durational quality of time-based performance art."

-Macklin Kowal
