The Service Room: Performance, 2017, Four dancers perform a choreography which responds directly to the surfaces, fixtures, and objects on the 'island.' The performers move in couples, rotating among themselves in exchanges that incorporate typical gestures of domestic and work environments, as well as unexpected movements generated by the diverse facilities’ adjacency.
