silent Howl
(Feb 2022- Present)
Silent howl is a contemporary dance performance stems from Sarah Hin Ching U (choreographer/dancer) living experience with a seizure disorder. This performance recreate sensations of uncontainability by constructing a highly energetic world that showcases movement, real-time animation, and electronic music corresponding to the theme of lines.
Silent Howl features visual representation of imagined brain activities, brought to life by Alexandra Caprara’s animation. This is inspired through Sarah’s practice of refocus therapy, a tool she uses to conquer overstimulation. In a world where Sarah finds self-advocacy is a constant necessity, Sarah discovers a unique "gift" within her condition – the ability to perceive life's subtleties, to feel every experience with unmatched depth, and to live with unbridled passion. This project serves as a testament to the profound strength found in embracing one's differences.
