We will be working on creating a piece that has to do with the passage of time & our distortion of time when it comes to memory  – inspired by Salvadore Dali’s painting ‘The Persistence of Memory’.

We love physical dance theatre, the art of partnering, and getting into and out of the floor. We are influenced and inspired by Laja Martin, Vim Vigor, and HumanHood. These companies and all the artists involved in them don’t just create beautiful movement but beautiful narrative and environments as well which is something we aspire to do.

If our work was an ice cream flavor it would be chocolate marshmallow because it is a unique flavor you don’t usually find. It is pleasantly surprising how much the two different textures compliment each other.

To us, incubation means a period of fostering creative practice and community.

A growing period for work to develop and marinate; taking the time to create without the pressure of needing a large finalized project at the end.
