While Taking Shape raises the question: How much of what happens in one body is connected with what happens in another? Through a choreography that shapes the space between the performers and spectators and by focusing on small gestures, the work invites us to reconsider the dynamics of gaze, distance, and proximity and the roles they play within spaces of witnessing.

How close does something need to happen for you to feel it, to sense a connection or a responsibility?While Taking Shape was born from this question, from the growing feeling of detachment in a world where terrible events are constantly displayed before our eyes through the media: An endless flood of images, at high speed and stripped of any context, that seems to freeze our ability to feel, turning proximity into a kind of numbness.
