ABOUT THIS SHOW
Grit is a live dance work that interrogates the underbelly of achievement by exploring the isolating cost of competitive natures amongst four female performers. By blurring the lines between exhaustive pleasure and exhaustive pressure, the four performers move through tension-filled repetition, playful provocation and amorphous structures to suggest an emergent collective.
