Daniil was interested in taking the dance that is part of the techno club scene to a new level and finding a way to integrate choreographed movement into a rave style event. As a prelude to this larger idea, Hofesh Shechter was invited to create a dance for the proscenium stage for the Graham dancers. The result is a visceral collective movement experience, with a powerful, swirling shared kinetic energy. </video>
