PETER STATHAS has taken the lemons of COVID isolation and made a beautiful layered visual serving of art and heart.

With no ensemble work possible, STATHAS contacted his dancers, encouraging them to stay active and motivated. WHAT WE HAVE TO GIVE is the result of this remote yet collaborative effort. Each dancer was to express the “now” they were feeling. The outcome is this series of solos and one duet radiating pain and isolation while at the same time beaming sunshine and hope.

It begins in Chicago in May, 2020. We move to Brooklyn for June. A sadder note. Brooklyn in July on a roof garden. Roosevelt Island in September. Queens in October, Manhattan in December. A new year dawns in North Carolina. Each dancer is more brilliant than the next, each month more evocative.

Kudos to all the brilliant talent involved in this film.
