Have you touched the sand? dives into the question it presents, unraveling what it means to truly grasp something—fully, viscerally, and without turning away. Created by Moo, a sibling choreographic duo, and performed by local Kansas City dancers, this contemporary dance world premiere explores the idea of deeply understanding something in a tangible way—and how one moves forward from that moment of realization. How does someone continue on after they’ve touched the sand? The work explores the tension between not having touched it—and what that absence does to you—and the quiet shift that happens when you finally do. Maybe it’s a sudden impact. Maybe it’s the subtle moment you find yourself in a different place than you were before, not even realizing when it changed. This piece is a quiet urging to return—to notice where you are, where you’ve been, and the care it takes to be present with a thought before it unravels into an answer. Moo invites you into a space where meaning reveals itself at different speeds—sometimes slow, sometimes all at once. Touching the sand is not arrival—it’s recognition. The kind that settles into you before you even know it’s there.
