zoË keating
Explores the physicality and
interaction between two
bodies in space, in both a
physical and emotional way.
Both performers traverse
through the space sharing
complex contact and lift work
evenly and fluidly.
The dancers have explored
the processes that you make
whilst making a decision...
Life is full of choice...
Circumstances brought
me here, through making
choices.
