We can imagine movement as a dynamic combination of centripetal and centrifugal forces. Physically and emotionally perceiving these forces can help us re-attain a lost animal harmony, and create within us a fluid state of constant metamorphosis.
We will share this experience in trios, duos and solos. Taking advantage of this underlying principle and using some elements of martial arts, tango and/or physical theatre we will enrich our Contact Improvisation dance till it transcends its given form.

Theatre Lab presents Velvet Scratch

Inspired by Tim Burton’s characters, the innocent and the macabre come together with the dynamic visual style of Theatre Lab Company, to create stories using powerful images and theatrical animation with a contemporary touch. Experiences of misunderstood outcasts who suffer and struggle to find love in their cruel worlds will be explored with Tim Burton’s tragic and sometimes comic metaphorical characters.
