Apertures is an evening of two distinctive dance works by Princeton seniors Mei Geller and Jasmine Rivers. The works question ideas of (in)visibility and imagine alternative openings beyond dichotomous structures of control. Apertures explores the interstitial crossroads of multiple identities and ideas and invites the audience to witness a glimpse of eternal processes of transformation. “please don’t touch,” choreographed by Mei Geller, explores tensions between organization and constraint, and freedom and creation in daily existence through the metaphor of museums. Geller is dancing along with her cast, which includes Princeton students Kristen Umbriac ’24 and Faith Wangermann ’25, and Aiko Venice Offner. Choreographed by Jasmine Rivers, “both/and…” explores the challenges, joys, and complexities of multiraciality. Rivers is dancing in her piece along with cast members Yuki Chevray ’24, Maya Sessions ’26, and Camille Sevrain ’24.
