Set within the world and work of James Surls: Nightshade and Red Bone, movement within this performance drew inspiration from nature, specifically skeletal structures of various land and water creatures, forms of trees and plants, and the movement qualities associated with each. Structure and Lack of Structure. Form and Loss of Form. Restriction of the Body and Freedom of Movement. Dancers within the performance explored the balance of these concepts and how they inform where movement originates from within the body.
The performance featured original music by Philip Daniel. @philipdanielpiano
