Hello my old friend is a group piece that deals with the concept of reunions in a physical and non physical sense. Through reunions of sounds, physical movements, emotional connections and stage design, the piece features 6 dancers in a theatrical and unpredictable collection of moments that move the viewer with ease and profound depth. The dimensions of what can be seen and heard are split apart, opening up the chance to see things not noticeable before. This also allows the viewer to see the memories of their past, and to experience these memories colliding with what they are seeing unfold in front of them.
