Poaka Carrot Stone Cactus
Presented in Trifle, a triple bill for Tempo Dance Festival. This work explored touch triggered memories and benign associations that create dramatic reactions. Based on a physical therapy focused on how historic injuries can effect you in the present and impact your relationships to one another. Performers Nancy Wijohn and Dan Cooper find that when they touch each other verbal and physical memories start to play out in real time without their control.
