Pockets of Light is an exploration in utilizing hand held props to illuminate and discover the bodies in space and is the second piece that Josh Pacheco has commissioned an original musical composition for. This piece began as and retains echos of a compilation of scored improvisation. Pockets of light is performed in complete (or near complete) darkness and the dancers discover themselves, then each other, then the space and decide whether or not to remain in there sector of the expanse, or venture further through the dark.
