Dance - Music

Suspense-filled reconstructions of quotidian life. Deconstructing, through analogue practices, the technology of the mirror.

A piece that looks to generate questions about the fundamental elements of performance: imitation, action, gesture, speech, memory, sequence, faking-it.

Creating situations that straddle humour and discomfort.

Using a mélange of sports and dance references, philosophical and political. The piece is a study on the body's ability to imitate and perform for survival.
