Simulation

Simulation is about reclaiming the sacred love of dancing. Our body knows, if we listen, that there is a deeper call for community, ritual, and radical joy. The unfurling movement mirrors nature with its complex ecosystems and chaotic beauty. This also resembles the spirit of the project. No species can thrive alone. Nor can any creation. This was a celebration of collaboration and letting the process reveal itself as we built it. It’s a homage to music artist Róisín Murphy, nightlife, our love of fashion, the infinite wisdom of nature, and the symbiosis and power of coming together to dance.
