The dancers share their energy, focus and commitment through the choreography. Their sensorial invitation gives you, the audience, the chance to feel the thrill of movement and yes, partake in the journey. This generosity is an inclusionary action. Petal is a creation based on the connection between the sensory system and human relationships.
