trust and discomfort
2001
What is it that a person recognizes in a stranger—the charge of a shared longing, the sensing of how the disturbance from differences fuel the moment, the possibility to shed light on a shadow within? With curiosity piqued by admiration, Marc Boivin and Helen Walkley meet in serendipitous form.
"trust and discomfort… an improvisational encounter in which the dancers seem to be responding to the air around one another’s bodies as much as to their actual heft and substance, two magnetic fields that finally get close enough to whisper, to smell and end up quietly jousting."
Deborah Meyers, Vancouver Sun
conceived of, improvised by Marc Boivin, Helen Walkley
