An exploration of symbiotic relationships - Ng and Glumbek are mesmermizing. Rea's work explores the hunger for spirit, or the longing for purpose in our lives.

Tedd Senmon Robinson's has developed a work using the environment of the dancers and the space to feed the content of the work. Garam Shift (2001) Choreographer: Tedd Robinson Dancer: Yvonne Ng Conceived and performed by Yvonne Ng, this work references the Wu Xing; the five elements that the ancient Chinese believe composed the physical universe. The Book of Documents tells us: 'water is said to soak and descend; fire is said to blaze and ascend; wood is said to curve or be straight; metal is said to obey and change; earth is said to take seeds and give crops' - translated by Karlgren The work draws from the five elements and their circular interrelationship to weave ancient stories and contemporary sensibilities. Collaborating with Caroline O'Brien and Juliet Palmer, Ng's work evokes and provokes. It is constantly shifting like a wheel turning or the cylces of seasons.
