Kinetic Studies on Perseverance is the second stage in the development of Forward: Pain, Perseverance, Peace. The work shares an experience of three dancers striving through loops of movement material. The dancers confront rigor, exhaustion, and rest in cycles as an investigation into how humans persevere.

This work was developed in part through the Digging in Group residency program at Green Space Studio and the Shared Space program at Mark Morris Dance Center
