Justin would like to thank dance-maker/collaborators Chris Yon, Chris Schlichting, Gretchen Pick, Otto Ramstad + Olive Bieringa, and especially Ivy Baldwin, and extend an even bigger thanks to all the dancers who gave this music life - dancers work the hardest. This is for Lawrence.

*Creation of “closer(group)" made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund and Composer Forum’s Live Music for Dance Minnesota, Doris Duke Creative Exploration Fund, American Dances Abroad, Foundation for Contemporary Arts and a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation Fund Project co-commission by Legion Arts in partnership with Dance Place, Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, NPN and Peace Coffee.
