BLKDOG - T498869432

In an emotionally charged Hip Hop dance performance, BLKDOG reveals the vicious connection of how self-discovery leads to self-destruction. Through haunting childhood memories and adult life traumas, how do we fight through our vices to find a sense of peace. With a pounding, brooding score the music adds layers of meaning highlighting the inner working of the characters minds. The music has grown from a long-standing collaboration with Torben Lars Sylvest and includes a mixture of original music and words performed by Botis' powerhouse company Far From The Norm and guests. Tom Visser's lighting brings a dark smog of disillusion as the choreography delves into the underbelly of life, while the hooded caps and padded costumes by Ryan Laight echo the protection and comfort of childhood. BLKDOG searches for coping mechanisms in the ultimate hunt for acceptance.

Woman of Sun - T909534739

"Clothed in sun, she feared not the man who practiced once but the man who brushed his indignity off in the light. As she walked on, she couldn't hide her footsteps, as one who catches two, catches neither. Sacrifice your conscience and all you think you know, otherwise it is the mind which becomes caged." Woman of Sun is a blend of oriental traditions, 21st century questions and culture clash. Using experimental hip hop language and martial arts concepts, Woman of Sun integrates Botis' distinct visual language with raw commentary on 21st century life.
