Dance Part - Pied a Terre
Pied a Terre
Pied A Terre means a secondary home, such as apartment in the city; but I have extended it to mean for me a home for holiday or a shelter form the storm. In this dream resting place, Jessica Rizzo and I found inspiration from each other’s different professions and personal experience, where we created ”other” characters through our “selves”. The “selves” will transforming to different appearance as we adopting ourselves to places with culture background, being understood and misunderstood, using the body to search for what people desire the most: Love company and acceptance.
