This is the eleventh year that HUMAN NATURE Dance Theater spends a week of intensive workshops and nightly performances at the Colly Soleri Music Center. The theme of this seasons exercise TOUCH AND GO explored through movement how we relate to each other. The final performance on Saturday evening celebrated an event of freeform and spontaneity and expressed a humorous yet very sensitive look at the frailty and beauty of human relationships.
