The shape of something changes as you move through it

Erika and Francesca explore the fallibility of human subjectivity.

When faced with questions beyond our understanding, how do we make sense of ourselves, our perceptions, and one another? Erika and Francesca explore these questions of fundamental uncertainty through several different modalities, seeking to discover different ways that they can be resolved in practice, in the body, in movement, and in being together.

Working with improvised text and speaking, they generate fictional narratives on the spot, weaving a continually shifting landscape of truth and fiction that emerges organically through the challenge of maintaining a difficult task. Through choreographed movement they explore subtleties of being present with another person within a complex structure. Durational movement scores provide a doorway into a more patient, contemplative questioning of the themes in the work.

They seek complexity, simultaneously embracing and subverting the meaning-making that happens in performance.
