CONCRETE AND BONE SESSIONS
is a site-specific performance taking place in a skate park at night - a place of concrete and cracks and curves and graffiti. With its shifting forms and uncertain terrain, this concrete monument to risk and danger is a place where its inhabitants push their bodies to the extreme. Branch Nebula collaborates with a diverse range of artists, from contemporary performers and dancers, to professional street-style artists working in the mediums of skating, BMX, breaking and parkour. The performance encompasses video projections, lighting and sound design to affect, shape and illuminate the expansive skate park at night. The show deals with themes of risk and danger, alienation and solace, in this environment. CONCRETE AND BONE SESSIONS will continue Branch Nebula��s extensive investigation into contemporary culture, and share with audiences a unique exaltation of urban creativity.
