    • Description

    All-Terrain Dance is a dynamic and visceral style developed by Artistic Director Daniel Wilkins that juxtaposes a variety of techniques from diverse cultural backgrounds. Utilizing clean balletic lines, modern release, martial arts, break-dancing, tumbling and wrestling, Wilkins investigates the limits of physical architecture with an acute attention to agility. The fluidity and attack that signals the intermixing of these vocabularies allows DASS to tackle movement with a comprehensive realism and intensity. Committed to the pure athleticism of the human body, All-Terrain Dance exemplifies the contrastive and changing forces that constitute contemporary life in society. DASS' All-Terrain productions traverse multiple artistic mediums. Visual art, video and photographic projection interact with technologically innovative set and lighting design as well as fashion forward costume design.
