LH:  The choreography for this piece was based on the accounts of numerous people who have had near-death experiences and have described in detail being drawn to a light at the end of a tunnel.  I was also thinking about experiences and thoughts of people diagnosed with a terminal disease.  In END LIGHT the dancer has already passed into the described dark tunnel (metaphorically speaking) and has the possibility of going forward towards an unknown light, back towards a familiar home base (life as we know it), or remaining in flux between both places.

CK:  It was my intention to create an environment that spoke to these different states of coming/going/stasis through the imagery, the live-feed camera angles that differed from the point of view of the audience and through the translucent layers of projections.  As the piece progresses the solo dancer becomes increasingly “mediated” and embedded within the installation, all the while maintaining the dynamic edge of the live performer but having her presence meld with the video projections and the world that it creates.
