A commission created for Northern School of Contemporary Dance.

Inspired by the Chakana: a Mexican symbol which represents the spirit & human worlds, the animal kingdom (characterised by snake, jaguar and eagle), the four elements and the bridge between our shadows and our superconscious. It encourages the questions: how can we be ourselves to the full with all our facets, quirks and binaries? Are we the victim of, or the creators of our own destiny?
