(2023)

Embrace the Moment is a beautiful, interactive, female duet created by Jen Clark Stone and Megan Thompson, with Maida Withers.  The “responsive” duet premiered September 23, 2023 for the OPENING EVENT of LEGACY: 50 Years of Dance on the Edge, an exhibition and immersive installation featuring the work of Maida Withers and the Dance Construction Company at Corcoran School of Arts and Design Galleries in downtown Washington, DC.

Jen and Megan have collaborated and performed duets they created for many years. The partnering work of touch and acceptance of weight reveals the longevity of the relationship of the two mature and sophiststicated dance artists.  Embrace the Moment offered the large Opening Night crowd a close-up view and touching engagement with dance.  Music was performed live with composer Yoko K. Sen, Washington, DC electronic instrument and vocals.
