Survival of Knowing
The Survival of Knowing was a dance piece choreographed by Allen and performed by Tara Butler.
In strong relation to personal memories and experiences that have shaped and formed Tara into the person she is today, this solo performance reflects the concept of “looking back, forgiveness and new hope on the horizon”. The performance evokes a conversation with oneself, which explores the breaking of barriers placed upon us through the societal and belief systems we grew up in. Through a collaborative process, Allen Kaeja choreographed a solo that reflects Tara’s personal departure from ballet, “replying deeply on instincts and risk taking in a new form of movement vocabulary”.
