CONNECTIONS
Program Order
Physical Connections
      Colorful bands of fabric link us to each other and anchor us in space.

DNA
      Dances were inspired by the chemical bonds between molecules, the DNA structure and amino acid chains.

Connections Across Space
      How do you dance with someone who isn't there? In these dances the three-dimensional performers connect with the two-dimensional projection by sharing movements, ideas and emotions.

Body Connections
      How are our bodies connected? We deconstructed the body and then reconstructed it to make movement and dances.

Emotional Connections
      What makes a family? How are we connected and why? We made dances based on characters, relationships between people and creatures and perceived emotions using our own 'families' as inspiration.
