The duet, which [Courtney Greer] will perform with [Joan Nicholas-Walker], claims origins of a simpler nature, beginning not from literature but from a physical place. Although her work is often inspired by specifics, Greer stresses that audience members can take any number of ideas and feelings away from the piece. "It's when [audience members] don't experience something that you think, 'Well, I guess I failed as a choreographer,'" Greer says.
