This work embraces the wild, unseen energies of learning—how young children make sense of themselves through movement, expression, and sound. I use my original Scarf Song (https://youtu.be/vyEIVGeiyfg?feature=shared) to help children practice directional language and balancing movement. For this piece, I unraveled its structure to reflect the unpredictable rhythm of young children learning in motion. By reversing and breaking apart the Scarf Song, I reimagine the way order emerges from chaos. The manipulated audio disorients, creating space to listen differently, to hear new rhythms in what at first seems like disorder. This piece celebrates the way their unfiltered emotions, tangled voices, and spontaneous movements come together to form something deeply meaningful. The magic isn’t in taming the chaos—it’s in embracing it.
