Bevin.
"I love to move. I love to watch people move: running down the street, standing silently on stage, breathing in a Pilates class. In any capacity. And it's the space between the action that excites me. Transitions are compelling, always changing, rich with complexity and stripped of expectations. Dance is that subtle thing that happens in the space between the kicks and turns; it's the constant negotiation of weight, time and presence." –Bevin Poole

faces.
The dancers move their eyes in opposition to their body as they stare into the vacuous space that surrounds them.
When perception slips and half of the face is gone. When what is seen is not real. When reaching for something renders one empty handed.
