Description: This is a solo I created for Robin Wilson. It isa biographical dance essay and was created by my asking Robin a series of questions about her life. In the solo, she talked about her childhood home, her mother and father and sisters, her early days as a student at the American Dance Festival, her marriage, the birth of her child, her then current situation as the mother of a teenager, her desire for buying a home and building her nest.
