Whilst initiating a bold space following a sparse, angular order, it was necessary to redefine the performer’s bodies in order to fit the new configuration of their surrounds and give them dominance. We visually accentuated important elements of each character by giving them a sculpted quality that could be translated into their individual physicality whilst also linking them to the space, giving a sense of ownership towards their habitat.
