“The concept of TEXTURES is integral to our experience of the world. The idea that everything has texture encompasses the surface quality or feel of an object, including how it looks visually and how it feels to the touch.
Just as physical objects have textures, so do human emotions and experiences. The complexities of our psyche are textured with layers of joy, sorrow, love, and pain. Each emotion has its own unique feel—sometimes sharp and jagged, other times soft and flowing. Texture is in the grain of our laughter, the weave of our fears, the surface of our dreams. It can be felt in the roughness of a difficult journey or the smoothness of a moment of peace.
TEXTURES Dance Theatre embodies these principles, exploring the layers and nuances of human emotion through movement. Dance becomes a medium to express the intricate and often unseen textures of the human psyche. We journey through the tactile world of our inner lives, where each step and gesture is a brushstroke in the art of expressing human complexity. Our work reveals the depth and dimension of human emotion, showing that people, like the world around them, are full of rich, diverse textures.”
