Action 1.3, Action 2, Action 3

An experimental, movement based performance always in the process of self-generation. An open-ended dance work strongly connected to its landscape.  

A triptych performed in a powerfully alive environment. 
The idea finds its expression in an unfolding series of shifting images, which form and dissolve, build up tension and discharge it. The figures, in motion and in stillness, attempt to individuate from the landscape only to surrender back to it again.
