Emergency is a modern work based around the idea of the female struggle for empowerment and equality. This piece explores the ideas of support, breakdown, and the ferocity of the female spirit through contemporary movement. Originally an all female cast of 28, this piece was commissioned and restructured for Pittsburgh Ballet Theater Schools Graduate Program for a cast of 11 women and 5 men.  This piece was also performed at Point Park University as part of PBTS Pre-Professional Showcase.
