EVERYTHING,
BUT THE KITCHEN SINK
Caught between pursuit and the allure of distraction, we navigate the intersections of moments, memories, and relationships that shape our identities and ground us in our realities. This journey sees six entities converging, guided by the ethereal boundaries of light and space.
Chasing the imaginary clock we have created in our heads and follow in our lives every single day. Jumping between worlds, times in our lives, and experiences that brought us all to this present day in this room with four walls. This evening length work is an introspection to the journey of nine entities converging into one, guided by the boundaries and allure of light. Through the immersive creations, the dancers navigate the space, each representing unique identities that gradually merge and evolve shedding individuality to embrace collective harmony. Through spacial exploration and interplay between movement and light creates both boundaries and opportunities, challenging the dancers and space to redefine their relationships within the illuminated space physically and metaphorically.
