Contact Improvisation

 

Dance/axolotl.jpeg

Arona performs in Axolotl, a paratheatrical performance with Karl Frost where the stage is the mind of the audience. 
 
Axolot is a paratheatrical performance where performers and audience members blurred the fourth wall and the division between performer and audience.  In this highly moving and dynamic experience the audience members were blind-folded for 2-hours as the performers created a visceral experience rather than the traditional visual experience.
