Choreographer Andile Ndlovu explores the idea of reclaiming joy and putting back together that which is broken, in this co-commission from The Washington Ballet and Marquee TV. Inspired by the physical therapy he underwent to recover from a recent injury, Ndlovu incorporates routine tools like yoga balls and structural movements like planks and bridges and morphs them into playful and unstructured movements. Six dancers cross space and time, moving and interacting as if they are characters on a playground. Tapping into themes of nostalgia and reclaiming joy, the dancers shift, taking on new roles and identities, bending, folding, and evoking familiar classroom shapes.
