SCENARIO | Make A Scene

‘Scenario: make a scene’ is a dance performance that explores the subtleties and sensitivities of human interactions.  As the name suggests, the piece travels through different scenarios proposing different situations. The audience is invited to join this journey of shifting scenarios, and experience the various levels of communication and connection between the characters. Using narrative and abstract elements, the piece challenges the physical and emotional duality in human interactions, a necessity that is also a struggle. The piece shifts between playful and absurd environments, creating an everlasting feeling of looking for connection.
