Alison put up a post on social media and asked people “What do you believe the most vulnerable emotion is?” She received an overwhelming response. People wrote words such as Fear, Anger, Grief, Love, Acceptance, and she found images that made her think of these words and created a large map. Alison brought the map into rehearsal and the dancers and she had a discussion and stood up and began creating this piece.
