Puzzle pieces

Although inspired by sketches of dancers, the theme Puzzle Pieces refers to different aspects of relationships:

The bodies of two people can knot or intertwine like three dimensional puzzle pieces. They can unite to design different forms, or make spaces between each other.

They can create harmony by complementing and coordinating each other's bodies and moves, or clash and high-light tension.

As Puzzle Pieces, two people work things out together, confronting and accommodating, gaining new perspectives by expanding their range of moves and view points.

They hinge and rely on each other, interact with tension and trust, and whatever they do - it is always a little precarious.
