ELK

ELK is a performance art and dance piece that engages in dialogue with raw and altered materials. It establishes a conversation between the dancer’s body and other organic bodies such as mud, wool, cork, glass, natural latex, silk, wood, stone, and plant fibres. An exploration of energetic performing arts properties, the work presents a dramaturgy made of visible and invisible matter where the performer and the audience can together imagine spaces that are healing, creative, and essential for existence.
