Por Dentro (2012)

Description

Por Dentro, a quintet choreographed by Hedwig Dances’ Cuban-born company member Michel Rodriguez, explores human interaction through physical communication.

The sense of touch permeates the work. It aims to use movement with an elaborate focus on the individual dancer’s response from the moment of contact with another. This journey, and the reaction to it, serves as the inspiration for the dance.
