Waltzing to nothingness will have an apocalyptic feeling. 

GARAGE Art Space has a slightly claustrophobic atmosphere in it and I am using that as a starting point to the choreography.

I want to make the movement to flow or rather to explode over the space like water when dropped to boiling oil.

I want to create images of the exploding; disturbing energy that I feel is going on in the world.

I move these images into the black box performance space and stretch the movement ideas until the dance work reaches

what I imagine will be a catharsis of nothingness.

The feeling I wish to create is of the people who are trapped in to this black space for the reason they have nothing to do with.

Music to this choreography will be composed by Sylvi Alli.

"...Sylvi has a haunting, heavenly voice that quickly finds the resonant frequency of your heart and shakes it to pieces..."
