To Be Free explores improvisation and structure, and improvisation in structure. Be it a somatic costume that actually changes how you move, or an improvised dance that changes how you see time. This is a study of freedom.
You are welcome To Be Free at the second CounterPulse Festival, a time and place to blur your lines, futurize your life, and revel in the twilight of an old era.
