A unique collaboration between Control Group Productions and Boulder dance artists Lauren Beale & Brooke McNamara. A descent into darkness. A collision in courtship with the unknown. An unfolding of hidden spaces and permeable realities. CAVE/dances made to be viewed in the dark offers audiences two interlaced duets conjuring a lush, nuanced experience of the world just out of view. Semi-separate, simultaneous creations methodically establish and then disintegrate the permeable edges between earth and sky, presence and absence, perception and cognition, demanding a return to simple fascination with the fundamental sensory phenomena that fashion our imperfect understanding of a continually mutating present.

CAVE is the fertile, liminal space in which two women dissolve into and embody the rich chaos of the unknown. In the heart of transition, with much at stake, senses sharpen and fine-tune, attention aligns, and the power of nuance ignites a readiness necessary for the work of the in-between. Inside CAVE, we ask: is it possible to prepare for experiences that exist in a realm beyond our capacity to imagine or put into words?
