Dela Says Yippee (2017)
Dela, my partner in life, really likes "Beneficial Tradition" by Dan Pearl. She asked me to write a dance that cut the zipper figure (B2 of "Beneficial Tradition") in half and put it in a more choreographically spacious environment. As in "Beneficial Tradition," if there's no one there to pull by, turn around and stay put.
