Audiences move through childhood anxiety-driven game structures – including slap hands, floor is lava, rock paper scissors, and hot potato – which function as levels that build respect, trust, and community coordination. Blending contemporary dance with jiu-jitsu-inspired partnering, the work uses conflict, resistance, and cooperation as engines for growth. Through navigating friction and repair, the audience collectively shapes the evolving world.
Featuring PIKMII Performers: Juwai Pitkin, Macee Eppard, Ashton Atteberry, Anna Patterson, Peter Elizalde, Dahlia Levine, Joy Raylon Hill, Cam Arnold, Kerry Sheehan
Featuring Command Center: Nirah Burwell
