Using powerful movement and expression, we delve into and challenge death, femininity, sexiness, beauty, dirtiness, ugliness, and exhaustion. We are physically and emotionally invested in creating atmospheres that feel cinematic or ‘other worldly’. The work is brave, innovative, and provocatively edgy. Together we create provocative, site-sensitive performance projects. We make live art experiences.
