Meditations (2008)

Originally choreographed by Burgess for Ballet Memphis, Meditations is a full-company work that celebrates the Asian American community through sublime phrasing and breathtaking elegance of movement set to music by Lou Harrison.

Drawing in Space (2026) ***A World Premiere***

Paying tribute to the artistry and life of Japanese American artist, Ruth Asawa (1926-2013), Burgess draws inspiration for the new piece from the looped wire-metal works Asawa herself described as “drawings in space.”

Caverns (2012)

A pensive piece for a trio of dancers, Caverns is set to Für Alina by Arvo Part.  It follows the cyclic emotions of a protagonist caught within a web of remembrance and her inability to escape the haunting of an unrequited love.

Charlie Chan and the Mystery of Love (2010)

This full-company dance was inspired by Burgess’s own coming of age story as a young gay Korean American in Santa Fe, NM in the early 1980’s. The work explores themes of belonging, love and identity in modern day, multi-faceted America.
