Laurel Lawson hovers above the stage, arms and wheels lifted, supported by Alice Sheppard who partners her from below. Alice is on her back, lifting Laurel, locking eyes and opening her arms in embrace. They are surrounded by small wood ramps and bathed in cool blue light. Laurel is a white dancer with cropped blue hair and Alice is a multiracial Black woman with short curly hair; their skin, shimmery costumes and chairs reflect the light.
