How many wrinkles, how many folds, how many knots?
Oh, how the tensions return again and again, waiting to be sighed away.

Tensions come and go. In a breath held too long, in an immovable stiffness, in the heaviness of our bodies and the weight of the world around us. It comes to us through the shock of transformation, or the gradual realization of things long unacknowledged. The dancers of the ARMADA Junior Company 2025 reveal their own tensions, to find one another, and themselves, in movement and in silence. Looseness brings the vulnerable spirit of these young dancers to the forefront ; their awareness, their bodies, and their minds on a search for solace, resolution, and rest.
