Through a patchwork of shifting perspectives and embodied expression, each dancer reckons with their emotions and navigates relationships with others, pushing through pain, conflict, and ostracism to find vulnerability, empathy, and solace.
Topia
“Topia” investigates the complexity of emotional response and conditioning by exploring core emotions of rage, fear, and love and mining the myriad manifestations of darkness–numbness, dissociation, depression, and mania.
