STAMPEDE THE STAMPEDE (2015)
In Stampede the Stampede a lone-body is caught within a demanding choreographic apparatus. The body is affected and moved as a consequence of a series of interjections from machines. The machines and the collaborators who made them, share the load of the performance - collectively burrowing deep into dynamics of rupture, turbulence, suspense and attack.

A corrosion of posture
A rupture disrupted
A controlled struggle
A predictable scribble
A violent fragility
A suspended rush
A mechanical falling
A splintering of individual
A lyrical hoard
A chaser being chased
A turbulent ballet
Surrounds the surrounded
