Choreographer: Marykate Frassinelli

“This is my second year choreographing.”
What inspired you this year in your creative process?

How does your concept for your piece relate to the concept “true you”?
“My piece relates to the “true you” because at some point in everyone’s life, they realize who’s really there for them and who’s just temporary. As much as this can hurt, we all eventually get over it and realize we’re better off without them. “
