Try Out - Coproduction "The Palm Of Your Hand" by Vera Tussing (Outdoor Version)

"The Palm of Your Hand" is a dance performance that takes place in the active, engaged, tactile negotiation between performer and audience - in their tacit agreement and understanding. Arranged in their ellipse, the audience themselves form the bounds of the theatrical space. The fourth wall becomes the skin. This is a journey that, by definition, performer and audience discover and create together.
