Surface Tension is an 18-minute work for seven dancers and two light fixtures. It is a meditation on risk and community care. In a dark world, held close through directed lighting and a tension between what is seen and unseen, seven dancers oscillate and glide through one another, through space, and through time, underpinned by an original score from Marco Gill.
