"4 Corners"

Recognized for artistic excellence in Houston in 2025, choreographer Karen Stokes considers life as an on-going ebb & flow of time and space within a contained box. In "4 Corners" audience members, seated around the edges of a box, view scenes of a continuous shifting journey. Life is seen as being on a threshold of possibility. Movement explores time/space widening and closing, slowing and quickening, within the four corners of the earth. Stokes leans into the liminal, pulling back from tangibility to embrace uncertainty, transition, and spaciousness. Ben Morris composed the rich evocative score that flows through "4 Corners."
