SYNCHRONICITY
SYNCHRONICITY
SYNCHRONICITY, Stephanie Shin’s first evening-length dance work premiered on March 10-11 2023, at Arts on Site to 4 sold out audiences.
The work questions the stakes of being in the right place at the right time. In addition, it asks the following: Why is there potential for good things to occur when we least expect it? Can meaning come from coincidences in our lives, or do we create the meaning after observing a coincidence?
SYNCHRONICITY originally derives from Shin’s experience as an Asian-American woman living in a city where violence toward her demographic has increased in recent years. Specifically, her recurring experience of meeting eyes with other Asian women while waiting for the subway in New York City. She said that these instances created an unspoken agreement to be there for each other if a situation were to escalate. While these moments may seem unimportant to an outsider, acknowledging their significance gave Shin solace in a time when comfort was scarce.
*SYNCHRONICITY is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement, a regrant program supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with City Council and administered by LMCC.
