I like the idea that they’re dancers study things that are not purely dancing, such as acrobatics, free running, boxing, and capoeira in order to help them improve their performances. I would be interested to see how they integrated all of these disciplines especially the free running. The idea that “the dancers will be free-running over bodies” is especially exciting. I would be very interested to see how they chose to portray the “the sexual Hunt” through movement.
