Infinity Doughnut by Katie Ward - March 2015

In this speculative and naïve survey of our surroundings, bodies are squeezed and compressed, they also laugh, vibrate and drift.

Infinity Doughnut is a blind and imaginative system of navigation exploring inanimate and also human phenomena. Here we navigate shapes, spaces and complex connections through simple-minded, volatile and robust dancing. A movement machine shows the mind’s fluctuations.

This performance event invites performers and audience to surrender to change, flow and spontaneity.
