ILLUSTRATIONS AND POETRY BY SARAH GROTH
Editor’s note: The following illustrations and poetry were created by Sarah Groth for the fall 2022/winter 2023 print publication of Stance on Dance. Sarah’s only direction was to create something related to dance and movement. Enjoy!
Touched.
It sinks.
Deeper.
Everything inside.
Swirling. Holding. Pushing.
Opened.
The pieces are floating.
Blown into expansiveness.
Freeing.
The body emerges.
Gifted.
Beyond the bounds.
Ebbing in stillness.
Connections held.
The movement of becoming.
