PLASIX
PLASIX is a physical contemporary theatre piece based on the development of the One Move Technique, a concept that constructs choreography based on only one move and its experimentations. Dancers travel through unexpected places in a short amount of time through a juxtapositional metamorphosis of contrasting locations. The continual and seamless morphing of one location to the next is used to take the audience on an engaging journey.
“Most magnificent MCDC – you made us laugh and enthralled us with your creativity – wonderful and charming work, such a pleasure to see it at JUMP” Danielle Corbishley, artistic director of Beautiful Creatures Theatre
