Dance/Theater Shannon

In "It Never Gets Old", we explore how different relationships provide context to intentions of touch. 


How do males and females touch in loving and non-loving ways?  What happens when a touch becomes inappropriate?  Deconstructing and reconfiguring the power structures in touch through the partner dance forms of Polka dance & Contact Improvisation help to show anew how individuals interact and influence each other.
