In His Grip
In His Grip was a duet performed by Awaken Dance Theater that examined an emotionally destructive relationship. We see a woman struggling to break free from the controlling grip of her boyfriend. In an article on Critical Dance, one reviewer described this piece as showing "striking intensity that at once illustrated the magnetism that keeps his girlfriend from escaping his grasp and the danger that makes her addiction to him so unnerving." Clips from the performance of this powerful piece at KaleiDANCEscope: A Shared Evening of Dance can be found below along with photos of the company's performance.
