Press

" Instead of simply dancing inside or out of the sculptures, the dancers defied our expectations, constantly stepping in and out of the barrels, penetrating the gaps between slats with arms and legs. It was an exciting decision."
~ Portland Monthly

Juxtaposed (2012)

Juxtaposed contrasts the softness of the human body against the stark lines of two conical, articulating, prism-like sculptures. Dancers move in and out, under and around them throughout the piece. Performed with a rich layering of live and pre-recorded music.
