Adam Benjamin - Dance Artist: “My journey in dance oscillates between
the vibrant uncertainty of improvisation in workshops and performance, and the crafting possible
within set pieces choreographed for the stage. It is about freedom and choices, order and chaos,
about respect and possibilities. It is about the integration of ideas, about finding our way,
finding our place, finding ourselves.”
