Realities intersect.
Individuals and the narrative. Springboard into the abstract
moments slipping from grasp. The Vulnerability of Memory.
Flashing, fleeting moments
and a loose grip on the sight of time.
What is left?
To hold on or pull away.
Illusion as comfort — as protection?
As quickly as this moment is the present, it is the past…
it will be bliss

In Dance Workshop’s second evening-length work, the company explores movement, theatre, and virtual-reality film, welcoming the audience into this immersive experience of time, truth and real life — it will be bliss
