Miranda (Randi) Blumanstock is a NYC-based artist pursuing a BFA in Dance with a Choreography concentration at Marymount Manhattan College. Her experimental contemporary dance theater works explore liminal spaces and the boundaries between self and other. Drawing inspiration from other realities, literature, and film, she creates idiosyncratic movement landscapes shaped by character-driven narratives and instinctual physicality. We’re In It For The Long Haul investigates the relationship of two best friends/travelers embarking on a journey to a mythical city. This reimagination of myth examines the precarity of fate and the gravity of walking with someone through the blur of time.
