 Raw
"RAW" is physical and strong, pure and unadorned: clean lifts and foward leans, elemental lines and movements... each dancer persistantly distinct rather than processed in homogeneity. They adapt the common movements to their own styles: Blake Beckham's astonishing assurance, Blake Dalton's daunting power, Courtney Adams' precision and grace...."RAW" is poetry of plain meters and a lucid lexicon. It's a stretched chest, deep breaths, knuckles cracked and popped." -Thomas Bell, Creative Loafing
