A wild trip through the psychic waste of a dancer, living moment to moment.

In this premiere work from Brooke Stamp, the hidden, subconscious impulses of a dancer rise and writhe. Stamp pries open the usually closed space of a rehearsal studio, so we can witness the dancer at work. Spoken-word recordings of Stamp’s inner-world are amplified and warped through a feedback loop, courtesy of experimental composer Daniel Jenatsch, powering her movement. Her deep knowledge of dance is embodied, regurgitated and dislocated through psycho-physical release.

Every performance offers a new, ever-evolving experience. The creative process is alive and in real time. Her psyche balances the line. And the line is the labyrinth.
