Unmapped

Daniel Burkholder/The PlayGround is a movement based improvisational performance group that performs dynamic works which celebrate the uniqueness of the individual and develop awareness in the beauty of spontaneity. By combining the formalism of choreography and the immediacy of improvisation the work challenges audiences' assumptions and yet remains remarkably accessible.
