DESCRIPTION OF PIECE

Of Petals and Fire is an evening of dance choreographed by Ava D’Eon that explores layered expressions of womanhood, femininity, relationships, and autonomy. Rooted in feminist perspectives and expansive research, the show channels the wild woman archetype—untamed, intuitive, and powerful. Each piece honors the complexities of being a woman, creating space for the often-suppressed inner fire to be seen, felt, and celebrated. Through dynamic shifts in tone—grit, grace, humor, vulnerability, and hope—the work invites audiences into a communal reflection on the resilience, rage, tenderness, and joy within and around us.
