NIGHTSHADE
Nightshade is an emerging, multi-generational dance work, that is also a living architecture, a body topography, a memory, a celebration, and a vigil.
Positioning the dance floor as a place where physical and sensorial liberation can be possible within a opposing world, it is grooved through repetition, collective rhythms, disorientation and desire, the piece is searching for all that flourishes best in the dark.
Nightshade isn iterative dance work + currently in development.
Created by choreographer by Erin Kilmurray
