tether

Incorporating arm & body knitting, tether examines the ebbs and flows of connection and relationship building. At times both literally and figuratively, entangled, four dancers push, pull, and weave themselves together and apart, asking how strong are the ties that hold us together? How do we escape the webs that we built?

“The product is greater than the sum of its parts, and Tether is layered with intricate musings that play with abstractions of tension and slack in the relationships we form with others.” — Lauren Warnecke, Art Intercepts
