1
00:00:01,020 --> 00:00:02,130
- [Choreographer] My piece is truly

2
00:00:02,130 --> 00:00:04,680
about the energy and the drive

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,180
and determination of youth,

4
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:08,130
especially within this freshman class.

5
00:00:08,130 --> 00:00:11,820
They're coming into this school
hungry and eager to dance.

6
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:15,360
As a choreographer, those two
things are what you wish for.

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,660
- [Choreographer] It's
this like unrelenting piece

8
00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:21,600
that just keeps going
and shifting and moving.

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,000
Knowing what I know about
myself as an autistic person

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,450
and what dance means to me,
and that like physical release

11
00:00:27,450 --> 00:00:29,670
and tension is a big part of it.

12
00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:31,950
- [Choreographer] The Julliard
dancers are impeccable

13
00:00:31,950 --> 00:00:34,050
and what's important
to me is having a part

14
00:00:34,050 --> 00:00:35,190
of them in the dance.

15
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:37,350
I see what relationships they have.

16
00:00:37,350 --> 00:00:38,587
There's certain moments where I'm like,

17
00:00:38,587 --> 00:00:39,510
"how did that happen?"

18
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:41,250
And if I can't remember exactly

19
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:43,380
how it was made, that's good.

20
00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:44,820
- [Choreographer] The energy of the music

21
00:00:44,820 --> 00:00:49,350
and the dance is that feeling,
"we are ready to go to battle."

22
00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:52,560
I feel like that is perfectly representing

23
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,270
because they're about to graduate.

24
00:00:54,270 --> 00:00:58,683
The anxiety, anticipation, they
are excited to do something.
