SXK 26-Don't you just love melting?

Drawing from a personal experience of gentrification

a place subjected to constant change…

Familiar faces and spaces dissolve into

Something new,Something unfamiliar…

In its essence, melting occurs in the interplay of active and passive forces…

of resistance and s u r r e n d e r.

Out of this, Contradictory emotions intertwine,

Shaping the body of the performance

forming chains of

Shifting states…. Shifting m o v e m e n t s. . . . . . S h i f t i n g s t r u c t u r e s

The performance invites the audience into a charged,

un f o l d i n g Landscape where tension and r e l e a se coexist… …and where witnessing becomes part of the melting equation.
