LEIMAY PRESENTING SERIES 2015: SOAK

Walk through sea urchins, see and hear their endangerment – their fragility. A voice speaks in a business tone, persuades the audience to move their seats. Sounds of control emerge. Do the dancers fall under its spell or do they deny it? What are sounds of control, images of control, movement of control? What makes control bad and what makes it good? This work researches self-control, ideas that control, obsessive compulsive control, control over people, control to help people and the kind of control that serves oneself. A capitalist yet humorous voice of time audibly attempts to control the when and the how long of sections while seeking to construct a balanced and full “dance” which is ironically a safety net or metaphor for comfort.
