Sustained Stream is a performance made as Amber’s graduating project at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp. The piece tries to rediscovery and reconnect with nature. For this, the six dancers use their individual and collective breath as the driving force. Breath connects us all in an invisible way to each other and to all other living beings if you want it or not. Also, the senses of the dancers are more than ever alive, to weave a story that explores the mysteries of nature.
