A colorful, dynamic contemporary ballet inspired by the complex infrastructure just under the surface of an American city’s neatly ordered street grid.
Subsurface Spaghetti
Flow, intricacy, and congestion can be made visible through choreography that focuses on the transmission, disruption, and redirection of gravitational forces through individual bodies -- as well as through multiple connected, tangled bodies resembling the “spaghetti” that affects lives aboveground.
Over time, layered, haphazard urban development leads to “subsurface spaghetti”, a tangled, overlapping network of pipes and cables.
