Improvised and live, it creates delicate bridges between the primitive and the sublime. Raw, it explodes through the wilderness of the modern psyche, illuminating dark realms of thought and emotion, poignantly freeing the hidden experience. Come move with impulse, calculation, and cool. Come master innovation within the beauty of strict form.
