A dance theater performance art piece journeys through trauma and the path of healing. It questions how we build tools to help ourselves. How does energy transmute? How do we handle life when it feels too much? Is meditation the next step to self-discovery? This piece poses many questions and shares non verbal stories, sound, film, a staged installation, dance and acting as a mode of new storytelling.

Quotes:
“More cathartic than its first rendition, Toolbox is a multi-faceted description of a complicated emotional journey beautifully depicted by soloist Julienne Mackey.” – LA Dance Chronicle

“Healing is a deeply personal process that, when witnessed in such a closed environment, feels very strange and awkward. But, as the performance moved on, and I began to understand the story that was being told, I began to feel liberated, and no longer felt as if I was prying where I shouldn’t be, but rather that I was witnessing a wonderful transformation.”- Johnny Otto Left Bank Magazine

“Orozco’s formation of a united space ended the piece with a purging catharsis easily felt in the studio’s intimate setting. Better developed than Too Much, Toolbox lived up to its name with its combination of dance with multiple elements to create a soothing piece of performance art.” – Lara J. Altunian

“Often we think that healing can be accomplished with one thing. “If I just had ________________, I’d feel better.” But this performance explores the use of all of the elements to mend the troubled soul.” – Johnny Otto Left Bank Magazine
