Light Explorations of a Darker Nature
"There's a West Side Story feel to Light Explorations of Darker Nature, a sense of overpowering passions and violence about to erupt, but kept under cool control."
- The Toronto Star
One of the Top 10 shows of 2003, The Globe and Mail.
Light Explorations of a Darker Nature is a high-energy piece about temptation and desire. An overwhelming lust for the forbidden in a high-contrast, high-stakes environment pushes the six performers to succumb to their temptation moving them into a sinister world of loss, aggression and indifference.
Featuring six dancers, the work is 20 minutes in length and appeals to traditional and youth audiences, making it ideal to show in partnership with the company's extensive education and community outreach programs.
