As we find ourselves under observation, under pressure, under arrest, under the influence and swallowed by the undertow we reflect on shame. This dance explores the complex relationships between the good and bad, the clean and unclean and the notion of innocence and guilt. How can shame unpack itself in the body and keep you under? How do you attempt to dig yourself out?
Moving Body Dance Company is based in Columbia, SC. Erin Bailey founded the company in 2018 and seeks to create works that play improvisationally and that challenge traditional performance methods.
