Adjusted for Inflation
​
Two dancers are sealed inside of inflatable vinyl balls. Over time, repeated gestures decay and germinate in correlation with the fatigue and exertion of the dancers, and the momentum of the balls.

​
The Tumblewreath​
Three dancers explore softness and power within accumulating circular patterns. The movement’s languid style is thrown into tension by the dance’s formal, rule-bound score — which features punishing repetition
​
​
​
structure monster | joy machine
An accumulating circular movement pattern gradually wears out its dancers. The choreography is a windmill, a formal structure that generates power. As the choreography's patterns pick up speed, and the dancers fatigue, they must, paradoxically, relax, softening into momentum, into the arms of the dance itself. Then they fly. The dance churns softness into power.
