“It’s the dance that pulls out something deep inside of us.”

The technique of building and resolving tension is a universal part of storytelling and life. Tension is essential to have connection and a fulfilling dance: you must be present, you must push back, you must push your boundary against your partner’s boundary or else your dance will be limp, lifeless, and empty. We all experience a constant state of fluctuating tension whether in our bodies, with each other, between countries, or in dance. We search for relief and ways to release it.
