Roya Carreras and Caterina Rago - 04/16/17

All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril.

As an artist, Caterina Rago's work is full of raw physicality feeling and she seeks to embody human
emotions in movement. Dance creates a sense of vulnerability, allowing performers to offer
and viewers to receive. Caterina Rago wants to bring self-awareness and push boundaries,
depicting messages of love, hope and courage throughout her work.
