Trust is not all or nothing
Trust takes many forms
We explore trust not as an all-or-nothing concept, but as a multifaceted human experience that can take many different forms.
Our project is built around five dimensions of trust, each embodied by a distinct Dragon Family. For thousands of years, dragons have inhabited myths, stories, and cultural traditions across the world.

Simplicity
Sense of Safety
Intimacy
Honesty
Openness to the Unknown

3 years of artistic research have led to the selection of specific dance tools to embody each dimension of trust. Through the imaginative world of dragons, these dimensions come to life as °
five distinct Dragon Families.

Simplicity
Like the flowing movement of water, The WATER’S embodies effortless movement and natural ease.
°
°
Sense of Safety
Feeling safe and confident, The SMARTS’ play, explore, and flourish within the vegetation.

°
Intimacy
The LOVERS’ settle comfortably into their nest and, as masters of interoception, tune into the subtle sensations and inner movements of their bodies.
°
°
Honesty
The WIND & FIRE’S are bold enough to shape and express their ideas with clarity and authenticity.
°
°
Openness to the Unknown
The ETERNALS’ have enough trust to move towards unfamiliar situations. They are confident enough to dare to touch others and entrust their weight to them.
