Stuck Together Pieces is an exploration in connecting, disconnecting, and re-connecting. How are we in sync on a physical level? How are we connected mentally? How do distance, environment, and lifestyle affect how we interact with each other? The work explores the complex bonds of human beings through developed phrasework, structured improvisations, and set patterns within both a physical and mental space. Contact between the dancers becomes an ever-changing dynamic that shows how humans can simultaneously become one with each other and also revel in their own little worlds.
