Splinters in Our Ankles is a movement essay that explores the colonial origins of one of the most popular folk dances of the Philippines, the Tinikling. "The Tinikling is taught to children in schools around the world. It's performed in theaters and at weddings. It's presented as a joyous, festive dance," says Casel. "But during my research I discovered that it was created during the time of slavery in the 16th century, and the Spanish colonizers used it as a punishment." Splinters includes an original score performed live by composer Tim Russell. An ensemble of eight dancers includes A. Anderson, K. Bell, C. Briggs-Winslow, R. Chaleff, J. Collard, P. Kao, K. Lopez and P. Murphy.
