Yardwork Presents: ROOTS. An evening of contemporary pole dance/live sound

Yardwork Presents:

ROOTS : an evening of contemporary pole dance and live sound design created by Morgan Phillips & Nora Price
ROOTS is an exploration of movement and music drawn from our earliest memories, defining personality traits and the places where we feel the most grounded to ourselves. Moments of play and improvisation punctuate composition for contemporary pole, guitar and film in an evening length work. ROOTS is an invitation to dive into intimate spaces and embrace the vulnerability of being seen in our purest form. Multiple perspectives of scope and scale reveal the muscularity and effort underlying the seemingly effortless.
Fusing contemporary pole and modern dance, along with projections and a live original score and sound design, Morgan Phillips & Nora Price bring something not only physically impressive but emotionally deep and sensorally rich to our venue. If you have been fortunate enough to see either artist perform in their myriad other projects, you already know the pairing is something special.
