About The Dance

An emotional exploration of human interactions set in the building at 1310 Mission Street, a former trophy outlet and factory. Following six months of on-site rehearsal the performers relationship to the building deepened, uncovering layers of embedded history and invented forms.

Boundaries blur in DEEPER as dance emerges from the building, providing audiences with a story that moves throughout the building, performers highlighting the sheer beauty of movement as a function of being in this particular place. Frank Lloyd Wright once said “The space within becomes the reality of the building.” Moving through the physical space the audience makes connections that are not necessarily planned or anticipated, exploring people in relationship to each other and the building. It is not so much in the “meaning” of each segment but in the total involvement of structure and the way actions are placed next to each other that define 1310 Mission Street. The resulting mash-up disentangles gesture from its expected meaning to become a realization of space in motion, a kind of architecture of movement
