Artistic Oasis

“We find site-specific work ideal because it challenges us to reframe our performances and really think about how space and its many parts can influence our bodies, tone and intention. The connection between audience and performers is self-evident. I bet if someone had the ability to photograph energy paths from above Adam’s room that night, we’d see a big, gushy network of warm lines crossing over and under each other, like a hundred giant cat’s cradles.”
