precipice
a dance of abandon and precarious control
inspired by tectonic shifts, gravitational torsion and states of emotional rupture, precipice is a dance of abandon and precarious control.
contrasting precision and strength with mounting tension and fragility, precipice creates a multi-sensory experience where choreography unfolds within an electrifying light and sound installation.
“it’s a wild ride; visceral and invigorating.”
