Investigate our latest, We are practical people – practical, complicated, vulnerable – we solve body puzzles like we’ve never heard the word awkward.
Brash and adventurous, we fold in on ourselves; share secrets; flip upside down; and build spontaneous, lush architectures that eddy and dissolve.
Gabrielle Revlock will join the tumble with A Fork and Stick Thing – a dance inspired by birds striving to be human with music entirely composed of words.
devynn emory will also spiral into the mix with My Child November – a collaboration with vocalist/performer Margot Bassett and dancer Meghan Milam.
