Soak
In Soak, six dancers move through a series of choreographed scores derived from the physical gestures found in bathing spaces. Soak treats the sauna, hot springs, pools, and lakes as sites of research for social interation. These interactions are distilled into simple and pedestrian movements that evoke relaxation, spectatorship, kinship, competition, and play. The sound is live modular synth and vocal scoring.Sound: Kari Watson
