A series of improvised miniatures in contemporary music and dance, exploring the fragments, echoes and traces unfolding within the performance, revealing the detail of the moment.

"The force of the dance comes through the attention to detail and the intricacy of gesture and step: from each individual's isolated dance, a group choreography emerges." Gareth K. Vile, the Skinny

"Spoken directions for movements became, like the shifting timbres of the music, an encouragement to take risks." Mary Brennan, The Herald
