Sonorous Explorations is a poetic interplay of the human voice and movement. In this improvisation-based performance, the dancers draw inspiration from their surrounding space, interact with one another, and reveal inner landscapes of the mind through sound and dance. In the choreography, the human voice becomes an organic element of dance and movement within the space.
