Danced by Nicholas Bruder, Emma Judkins and Justin Morrison
Music by Christian Frederickson

Three dancers call the beauty of the eternal habits - nature, art, life and our own ability to produce it. Assisted by a moving wall, projections and music, they first intertwine bodies into a single organism, then sculptured statues, finally, endless athletes. This dance does not follow rules but invites us to see beauty where we least expect.
