Dandelions is a dance theater duet that wonders about holding on and letting go - to ourselves, to each other, to things we hold dear. Spanning various movement modalities from butoh to contemporary dance to pantomime, Dandelions is a playback of memory and a picture of queer love, routine, change, and transition.
Performed by Erica Lee Schwartz and Madelyn Sher
Original music composed by Leo Hardman-Hill
Lighting by Laia Comas

I have been awarded a Staten Island Arts DCLA Grant to support the continued exploration of Dandelions with a live sound score by Leo Hardman-Hill! We will be presenting the newest iteration of this piece, which features performers Erica Lee Schwarz, Priya Carlberg, Judette Elliston, and Carrie Furniss, at Snug Harbor on Staten Island in October 2025.
