INTERFLOW with Destructive Steps Dance Association
Expanding their work to the performance space, Destructive Steps Dance Association’s INTERFLOW follows the journey of four street dancers of diverse Asian backgrounds as they explore and contemplate the flows within their freestyle-based dance.
In play with storytelling, theatrical lighting and a range of music genres, they deconstruct and reconstruct their Hip Hop, Popping and Locking bases alongside the establishing and evolving style of Waving as they seek to find their place between past, present and future.
Developed, produced and presented through FORM Dance Projects and Riverside Theatre.
