Dance Escape 2018
Hackneyed |
Choreography: Robyn O'Dell
Amongst the hustle and bustle of city life, it is easy to lose your individual identity. What does it mean to push back against monotony and societal norms? This off-balance story of exaggerated monotony ventures on cartoonism, both in choreography and lighting design. The design includes warped city-scapes, bright colors, and kaleidoscopic movement.

but is it affective? |
Choreography: Kira Bessey
It isn’t always pretty, but is it affective? This gut-reaction of a choreographic work is impulsive and unpredictable, with knee-jerk movements and brash lighting reactions. This work is the genuine expression of “quirky”.

eyes of your eyes |
Choreography: Andrea Ordaz
What is the sensation of being inside a black hole? How does that feel? How does that move? Playing with the idea of single-source design, this design is minimalist and finessed.
