Pavlova with Lemon Curd
by Anna PIllot
Dance artists Anna Pillot and Caroline Butcher present "Pavlova with Lemon Curd," a unique world where contemporary dance meets cooking show. Set against a backdrop of interactive projection and immersive spatial audio, the performers navigate a surreal, kitchen-inspired world where aerial apparatus work and contemporary choreography intertwine to explore themes of femininity, failure, endurance, collaboration, and competition.
