Arrows & Errors is a dance performed in two acts that considers the gaps in perception that arise when shared experience collides with the imperfect ways our bodies remember. Taking cues from old social line dances, tap and the improvisations that rise out of those forms, the dance builds from a collective memory of hops, glides and snaps and embraces the intentional and unintentional individual riffs on these inherited rhythms and patterns.
