In Brother From Another, chosen family Amy O’Neal and Michael O’Neal Jr. celebrate a profound connection that started at the Dance This… camp in Pt Townsend WA, when Michael was 16 and Amy was his improvisation and composition teacher. Michael has since toured in Amy’s acclaimed evening length, work Opposing Forces, and is now an emerging artist, educator, and leader in the Seattle dance scene. This short duet is a glimpse into how they have affected one another’s lives and how they define chosen family.

Amy O’Neal taught for this program for 15 years.
