ABOUT THE WORK
The main focus of this piece for three dancers will be movement based choreography that examines the complexity of the torso by dividing and clearly defining the independent movement capability. The work is inspired by observations of people and their daily activity and how each individual approaches an event or a problem with their own unique physical interpretation.
