Self Help

Description

mignolo dance is a contemporary dance company founded by sisters Charly & Eriel Santagado in 2017. They are lifelong dance and creative partners dedicated to developing new work that explores elements of various artistic mediums through movement.

Self Help explores mental health through the lens of a relationship between a therapist and patient using Movenglish® – a movement language in progress that directly corresponds to English. The translation of spoken conversations is complemented by fragmented and deconstructed phrases that represent what happens between the lines and inside the mind, embodying a ceaseless yet hopeful striving toward balance between thought and feeling, mind and body, self and other.
