AS IF EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT
‘As if everything was perfect’
Choreography by Gianna Burright in collaboration with the artists
As we strive to stay in connection with one and other while we dance for both hope and change, we relive memories of connection. This work is a story telling of fantasies, nightmares, utopia, memories and our current state of existence.
