LaJuné McMillian
Constellations
World premiere
Dance
Constellations is a performance from LaJuné that weaves figure skating, movement, and projected light into a study of connection, memory, and renewal. Skaters appear as moving stars whose paths intersect, separate, and return to one another in a shifting constellation of shared experience. The work highlights detailed movement and close formation patterns: light, shadow, and motion create a cosmic landscape where moments of solitude blend with moments of collective strength, while sound and color shape an environment that feels expansive and grounded at the same time.
Constellations offers a portrait of community forming through movement. The performance centers care, curiosity, and the brilliance of embodied presence. The experience invites audiences into a world filled with resonance, wonder, and celestial energy.
