Choreographed and performed by Candace Taylor, Associate Choreographer of the Tony-award winning musical A Strange Loop.

Through individual and collective stories Candace investigates interdependence within the body and invites both audiences and performers to ground together in their humanity. The New York Times has called Taylor's work "funny, furious and almost feral". Her newest work will make you scream, cry, laugh, it's up to you - just bring your light and Candace will make magic with you.
