2020 has shown us that art is not only a valuable tool to heighten our appreciation of love and life, but an essential part our daily routines. Our performance invokes new worlds only accessible through art and more specifically, the medium of music and dance. This universal language, both primitive and timeless, contains the power to strengthen, unite, and enhance the bonds between us.
Our performance is a partnership featuring live contemporary double bass music and modern dance. The performance is catered to the event, theme, or venue presented by community members. We use our surroundings and the stories of the audience to inspire new, one-of-a-kind performances that are deeply personal and unique, creating a lasting impression and experience for all.
