Two women slink and slice through the space, and at times wrap themselves on, around and over two sturdy stools, creating a mercurial study in kaleidoscopic emotions. From elegant movement to pixie play, this duet beguiles and provokes, providing an ever-changing portrait of the two women and their interactions. Furniture Suite creates a marriage of narrative and abstraction, juxtaposing recognizable everyday movements and situations with dance phrases full of beauty and liquid energy.
