Forty years of Dancemakers
Celebrating Dancemakers 40th anniversary, this new work mines all the ways we encounter ourselves and others in our pursuit of being human.
Working through the production of continuous and non-repeating image-making in groups of 1 to 10, the artists create a series of successive encounters between bodies, the environment and sound.
Through a process of emergence and dissolution, they reveal a space for the viewers’ imagination to take flight.
