Program Notes:

Make the Brutal Tender is a dance with the limbic system. It is a ritual of consent and a dance of thresholds. It is about conflict and rivalry between women. It is about instinct and desire as they relate to tenderness. Music and musician act as catalyst, control, pressure and disrupter.
