Through slow and taut movements that negotiate distance, tenderness, appearing, and disappearing—this work is a constant attempt to exit the passage of time to move into being within time.  A promise in its essential structure is always deemed to failure, yet predicated on hope, possibility, and potentiality. The absence and anticipation of a fulfilled promise is a testament to a lack, a desire projected onto the Other, never to be achieved, impossibly fulfilled. 

You long for a body that you have grown attuned to and in the process project onto it bodies lost or grieved. In Promises, nasa4nasa’s motions and choreography embody the making of an awaited promise, a synchronicity that constantly breaks, a repeated insistence to capture time as it fleets.
