The Ruggeds // State Shift

Adapt, improvise, overcome. This production is about adaptability. The solo “Turns“ and duet “Waterbrothers“, two pieces either going with the flow or swimming against the current. In the solo Turns, Virgil “Skychief“ Dey searches for turning points. His ability to move gives him the freedom to always take a new path. In the duet Waterbrothers, they challenge each other in a stream of movements in which the younger brother sometimes storms past the older one. As water changes form, Lee and Roy change their approach to the floor. The Ruggeds have been a collective of breakers for 15 years and explore the boundaries of their dance style in the theater.
