Choreography

A Romantic-era-inspired classical ballet piece; each dancer carries a part of the quartet, embodying the harmony in a different form.

Music: Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 47, Schumann.

The famed corps de ballet piece and shades variation (Le Rêve du Radjah), restaged for a quartet.

Music: Ludwig Minkus.

An athletic sneaker-ballet piece that breaks from conventional ballet norms, using movement, lighting, and formation to play with color on stage, embracing difference and ultimately reaching a state of equilibrium.

Music: "EQUILIBRIUM" by Darius and Wayne Snow.

A technically complex, dynamic neoclassical piece dancing at the border between jazz and classical, breaking down fast-paced intricacy with the excitement of a newly imagined classicism.

Music: "Once but Never Twice," Rikard From, and "Solfeggietto," Luca Sestak.

Deep Waters is choreographed to an original composition of the same name by Brianna Dai, Princeton '28. It performs October 30 and 31.

Dance is also where my engineering work starts. Tracing Light: Dance Documentary Film asks whether movement can be shown without the body in the frame, and Kaleidoscope turns a dancer's pose into live visuals. The Ballet Robot reads hand gestures and answers in ballet arm positions and pirouettes. I also serve as president of Princeton University Ballet.
