Break Down

About

Break Down is a performance that merges into something entirely its own through contemporary dance and Butoh, a Japanese dance theatre style.

As the seemingly different styles of movement converge, bodies, boundaries and binaries dissolve. Mirroring the micro-creatures that turn organic matter into compost in the dark, the performers explore what it means to break down body and mind and celebrate renewal.

The dancers work with and through each other, finding that nothing is wasted and no gesture is lost. What seems to be the end is just the beginning.
