Devotion (2021) commissioned and performed by Axelrod Contemporary Ballet at Bell Works, NJ. Choreography by Blakeley White-McGuire. Original score inspired by David Bowie and Brian Eno's "Heroes" composed by Chris Becker and played live by the Axelrod Chamber Musicians.

Blakeley writes: "This dance was the first group piece that I made live during the pandemic. It was also the first public performance by these beautiful dancers in over a year and a half. Inspired by the resiliency of the performing arts community, 'Devotion' is just that - dance as a devotional practice."
