Inspired by the painting The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, EASTSIDE is the story of an unspoken connection between two young people at a party.
Sandro notices Venus across the room. She notices him. Without saying a word they engage in a flirtation, each of them in some way imagining the dialogue between them. Through a series of glances, bodily shifts, and expressions, they create the story of what this interaction is, and so does the audience.
