This work takes urgency and scarcity as its methodology and opportunity and indulgence as its content. The work is a framework that we fill each night, guest artists with a shared history are working together to indulge in dancing together, in working and getting it done. our privilege and precarity.
Dance as a metaphor for thought. And a metaphor for nothing. This is us very very close up, watercolour smears. Gigantic, a monster. Microbes swimming in pores that are lakes. Zoom out accelerate toward the limit and then float, the sadness has no object.
This work is a study into the dance process, the individual and community, a performance as a universe and a microcosm.
