Alive!

Through dance, visual art, sound and spoken language, Alive! expresses the interior world & spirit of the dancers, narrating emotional stories that express the true dynamics of what it is to be Alive!.

During the performance Rachel and the dancers collaboratively create artworks. The dancers paint and in turn the artists dance.

Alive! turns the mundane reality of our current economic climate on its head and reaches out to remind us that life is joyous and that we must still embrace and celebrate being Alive!.
