/ə ˈsɪŋgəl pɪŋk klɑʊd/

Linda Austin and Allie Hankins weave movement, objects, words, and song to celebrate (or is it bemoan?) our unstable, unpredictable world and the revelations yielded by a rigorous yet playful devotion to unlikely pairings and (re)combinations. Along the way: a dismembered hyena, rustling onion skins, swirls of darkness and light, and a big pink surprise
