The "Talking Cure" is a reference to Dr. Josef Breuer's term for talking therapy which was later adapted by Freud to describe the fundamental works of psychoanalysis. This piece uses 4 dancers, 2 musicians, and 1 house. Based in analyzing the comfort sensibilities of the rocking motion, the movement will explore romance and friendship while an installation of a house is built though the dance. As boundaries of home and community are constructed, a question is raised: How do we comfort and protect ourselves vs. other people?
