“just grow up!” Choreographed by Charlotte Pico and Britney Little

Through intertwining the concepts of time and longing, we wanted to create a piece that ties the painful nostalgia of our childhood memories to our everyday monotonous lives after growing up together. the end of innocence is inevitable because of the many hardships that life brings as we age, but by looking for remnants of the childlike spark that still remains deep inside of us, there are ways to keep that wonder and curiosity alive and prominent as we move forward.
