Documented: Jan 2010 (Remount of 2008 choreography, originally performed by Gabrielle Martin and Rebecca Halls). Choreography: Gabrielle Martin. Dancers: Andrea Legg and Melina Stinson. Production design: Gabrielle Martin. Lighting: Marina Klimoff. Music: Sigur Rós, 'Di Do' and Mitchell Akiyama, 'Enfin rien n'est gagne'.
Box explores the resistance, acquiescence, and interdependence of involuntary confinement and compulsive cohabitation through contact and partner work. The duo expresses control through manipulation, surrender through being manipulated, and resistance through contact. In contrast to movements of aggressive opposition, the two bodies have moments of reflexive affinity, and within the agitation of confinement, lucid moments of euphoria splinter the Box.
What a marvellous synthesis of movement. Wonderful!!

loved how you managed to encapsulate the tension of the music within the movement... and how everything from lighting/music/movement/design was so eloquently complementing each other. great work.
