‘Two x 30’ explores the inextricable link between our collective and unconscious patterns of movement and our environment - the landscape and waterways, and surrounding architecture. What begins as 'passing each other on the sidewalk' soon develops into an intricate physical conversation, highlighting the complexity of human interaction and communication. It is an outdoor contemporary dance/live art work, presented in a series of 45-minute duet performances, stretching across the city of Toronto in May/June 2022.
