Playful, unpredictable yet logical, Melanie Ríos’ choreography explores the idea of accumulation.  Melanie’s large vision results in the invigorating energy of 107 children, disassembling and recombining.  It’s a delightful vision of the possibilities of coming together.  Momentum builds and gathers into a unity of young life, overflowing into the larger audience.
