”is it too late?”
An exploration into contact improvisation as choreography for stage work.

By @americanicetheatre at @warrioricearena

Choreographer: @isabelleragnarsson co-created with the dancers

So incredible proud of these individuals who I got to work with during the festival. We created this piece with only seven hours of practice and rehearsal time. Had no idea how my visions and ideas would turn out or even if it was possible. But we did it and so happy with what we presented on the Sunday showcase.

See you soon again ❤️

"There's a part in the movie
where you can see right through the acting,
where you can tell that I'm about to burst into tears..."
— Richard Siken, Dirty Valentine

and what a group to burst into tears with.
