étude nO.1 focuses on cycles of transformation, metamorphosis and renewal. The central axis of reflection revolves around the resilience and impermanence of the human condition. Guided by the sensory and dynamic dialogue between emotions and bodily responses, the movement is crafted in pursuit of a total and sensitive physical commitment. The body then becomes the communicator of the intangible. The result is a work where the performer transitions from self-sufficiency to solitude, vulnerability to determination, and provocation to resignation.
