This is about the darkest side of human nature, that which is hidden. It confronts the reality of the violence that each one of us can generate, and which springs from deep in our nature. It digs deep into the forces behind our actions, our primitive instincts. It is something recognizable to us all and these instincts bind us to our primal, animal nature.
This work proposes the acceptance of what we are and of the natural origins of our violent actions from their birth as internal convulsions to their translation into the physical realm and their effects on our bodily behavior. Dance is the vehicle in which to arrive at this primitive state of being, and martial arts techniques are a method with which to manifest this state.
