Angles and sinew. Impact and grace. Fierce individuality and delicate symbiosis.
A Fall for Dance North commission, this collaboration between Anne Plamondon and Emma Portner transcends the frame of a duet – and the artists’ difference in age.
“Our goal is to collaborate in the most open-minded and in-forceful way, giving space to a new way of creating as solo artists,” they write.
Artists, women, human beings. No rules, no preconceptions. When they dance, there is nothing else.
