PEPPER

DIRECTED / CHOREOGRAPHED BY WILL JOHNSTON

Pepper is a dance short directed and choreographed by Will Johnston. The short references consumption to the point of hypnosis. What happens to our vessel when the brain is no longer in charge? Who is in charge at that point? Who is in control? The possessed-like quality of this state of mind is showcased through athletic, cathartic, bound movement and a glazed over, lost, sense of focus giving weight to the idea that the body has a mind of its own.
