“Walled” is an aggressively physicalized, fervent, and intricate trio dance work that examines through risky movement, intense partnering, 10-feet of stretchy white fabric, and a driving sound score the societal and psychological barriers found in the company’s political and personal lives today. Bringing to the work both forceful stances and nuanced gesture and intimacy, this work showcases a range of emotions and fight or flight responses to edges, relationships, and boundaries.
