Double Bill with Stopgap: The Journey Between
The Journey Between is an exhilarating exploration of how humanity connects and disconnects, long signified in mythology surrounding the movement of stars and planets. Two cosmic entities, embodied by dancers Nadenh Poan and Christian Brinklow, search for each other through space. This high-energy performance is choreographed by internationally renowned dance artist Chris Pavia, and complemented by immersive digital projection created by learning disabled artists from Carousel. The result is a visually stunning work.
