With or Without is a contemporary balletic suite that I created for BallettxSchwerin in the '24-'25 season. The developing work will be set to chamber arrangements of Felix Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words, highlighting music that was made to capture human experience where words themselves are found lacking or otherwise fail. A series of short interludes will feature text by poets Rainer Maria Rilke, Gertrude Kolmar, and Friedrich Schiller, playing on figurative expression of intimacy, love, and human connection. The work will premiere in the summer of  2025.
