With serendipity, rigour and ingenuity, dance artist Josh Martin performs a solo together with 250 small cedar blocks. Moments emerge and transform: whimsical, primal, risky, futile and tender. Balance is fragile, tested, and there are no mistakes. Composer James B. Maxwell and lighting designer James Proudfoot frame and hold Josh with their sound and light, expanding and condensing his world. Developed through a collaboration with Josh that has spanned four years, blocking reveals the body, breath and stillness.
