Third Person Point of View

Third Person Point of View by choreographer My’Kal Stromile, begins in medias res—Latin for “in the midst of things.” We enter a non-traditional, three-person relationship in its fully functioning form: fluid, intricate, and quietly intimate. We then rewind to the beginning of the relationship, and what the audience sees is two people deeply attuned, and a third seeking entry, admiration, and a place to belong. As the title suggests, the piece invites the audience to witness from the outside, observing a relationship as it unfolds without ever being directly addressed. Camera flashes fracture time, illuminating moments of effort, allure, and unspoken negotiation. Guided by evolving physicality, the dancers explore how love expands—often imperfectly, always intentionally—revealing the quiet ache of being seen from the outside, and the grace of slowly being let in.
