What is dance outside of the visual medium?
In go places and do things: tactile dances audiences are presented with a menu of 4 scores. Each score is performed by 4 movers who lead one, blind-folded audience member through a tactile experience - incorporating elements of contact improvisation, shiatsu, and using props, sound scores, and other non-sight-based elements. Responsive to the physical needs and reactions of each performer and audience member each tactile dance is a unique, co-created experience.
