COMMON GROUND

CHUNKY MOVE

A ritualistic battleground for two dance greats, Common Ground is a choreographic game of chess. Inspired by political feuds, historical showdowns and the intricate, moment-to-moment recalibrations required of any partnership, the work explores how supposed rules can be upturned by unexpected moves—intricate gambits, sacrifices and reactive attacks

ANTIGRAVITY

CHUNKYMOVE & ASIATOPA

ANTIGRAVITY confronts gravity-bound bodies with the ephemeral, ever-changing cloud. Performers transform from celestial creatures to terrestrial warriors. As the clouds swell and dissipate, bodies are caught between monolithic stillness and fleeting elevation, becoming the vessels of our own imagination.
