From Gravity to Grace
STUK i.s.m. 30CC
From Gravity to Grace is an exploration of krump - an energetic and expressive dance form in which raw and repressed emotions are expressed in a powerful and non-violent way. Anna Karenina delves into the content and dance techniques and explores what krumping means to her. The connection between the earthly and the heavenly is central in an attempt to understand her own roots, to convey, to touch a higher reality. Through krump and contemporary dance, she explores the intersection of her Filipino roots and the Western lifestyle.
From Gravity to Grace is a story about intensity and emotionality, about all that is initiated from a deep emotional source, about the body as a carrier of emotions and experiences. An attempt to bring to the surface what is buried, repressed or lost.
