A World of Welcome

A World of Welcome is a contemporary ensemble piece that captures the bittersweet transition from the familiar rhythms of college into the vast unknown. Through sweeping lifts, grounded gesture phrases, and shifting formations, the choreography embodies the push and pull of change—the tension between holding on and letting go. The movement flows between moments of collective support and solitary exploration, reflecting the uncertainty, excitement, and quiet longing that come with stepping into a new chapter of life. Conceived in January 2024, A World of Welcome was performed in May 2024 as part of the AFX-[M]ovement showcase at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall.

Choreographed and Directed by Teo Lin-Bianco
