“In order for connection to happen, we have to allow ourselves to be seen – really seen.” Brene Brown

Rikki Bremner and Trihedral Sector present a double bill of contemporary dance that examines and abstracts the complexities of social interaction and our innate desire for human connection.

How to Con-nect – Rikki Bremner // Through body language and eye contact, our inner desires drive us to connect with those around us, and to truly see each other and ourselves. We live in a world where physical contact is declining and we continue to reach out for these connections.

This work offers a personal insight into the unexplainable dissonance that can be experienced in our daily lives.
