Balance becomes a dance suspended in the void.

The project

Tightrope Walkers is a choreographic laboratory around balance, off-balance, slowness, suspension and lightness. The artists work with the edge of perception as though crossing a line suspended in space.

The research treats fear, instability and control as physical material, asking how a walk can slowly become dance.

Creative context

Tightrope Walkers

Created as a choreographic laboratory with Akerusia Danza, Tightrope Walkers examines the point at which a walk becomes dance. Balance, off-balance, slowness and suspension are treated as physical tools, while fear and control become part of the perceptual experience of moving along an imagined line in space.
