Songs with out Words (2004)

In a work choreographed for Jeanne Ruddy Dance in 2004, Reinking romanticizes the seemingly infinite boundaries of first love: from its most vulnerable to its most tempestuous states. In this restaging of a repertory favorite, Reinking’s voice is resoundingly exuberant and optimistic.
