Step 1: Establish boundaries. Step 2: Break them. Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2. Our dance/theater work pushes both audience and performer to the edge: of believability, of physical limits, of one’s own skin. We pulse, throb, like tell-tale heart we beat over and over and over and over… wait. Take a breath—Calm down. Try again. Step 1: The performers establish their humanity. Step 2: The performers transform. Step 3: The world is a new place. Come along for the adventure. We do more than dance, we howl.
