A visceral story of queer sexual awakening and love told through a woman’s eyes.

Hana Kozuka, originally from Duluth Minnesota, moved to New York City right out of high school to train at the Joffrey Ballet School Jazz and Contemporary Trainee Program for 2.5 years on full merit scholarship.  She has since danced for MTV, Six Flag, Macy’s, YouTube, and NBC. As a choreographer her work has been presented at Dixon Place, The TANK, Mark Morris Dance Complex, Jennifer Muller/The Works, as well as in Boston. Hana is grateful that she is able to express her emotions through movement and always hopes to convey universal truths through her work.
