BRIGHTNESS by choreogrphaer Kristina Chan follows on from A Faint Existence and MOUNTAIN and examinines environmental change & our relationship to nature through impermanence, fragility & mortality. BRIGHTNESS looks at new possibilities, our potential for transformation & new growth. It examines the micro-world of complex systems in our natural environment, travelling deep into the sub-terrain. Exploring life cycles, particularly marks the stage of transformation between the death of the known & rebirth of the unknown.
