Where There is Movement, is the first episode of Evan Knapp's memoir, Independent Study. Bullied for being a gay, ballet dancing punk rocker, he runs away from home. While surviving on the streets, he fights to find ways to continue his training. The only thing that keeps him above surface, is his unhindered desire to simply dance, and to make that his career. Too young to be on his own, choices - prompted by the external, and the internal - carry him into realms that outreach his aspirations, and traipse him into worlds he would never have imagined visiting. With his hit and run style, Evan Knapp collapses and expands time. Disbursed throughout, thorough cogitation. What it is like to live again, in his past, while writing about it, in his present? The entire memoir is about more than a young street kid, a gay teenager in the 1980s, an aspiring dancer, a club going, drug using, punk. It is more than a story about a son, a brother, a friend, and later a husband. Spanning thirty years of his life, this is a modern day epic about observing, performing, reacting, retreating, and questioning - with help, and sometimes without. Independent Study is Evan Knapp's yarn - stumbling, tangled, and streaking through the ramifications of living in this world, while living inside his own.
