SKIN is a new performance work in development, a collaboration between choreographer and performer Ming and choreographer/curator Hanna Gillgren. The work digs deep into an exploration of our largest organ.
The performance is a sound and movement piece and we will perform a short extract at Fest en Fest YOUTH.
