ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY?

In Are You Sitting Comfortably? Heidi Rustgaard and the Trinity Laban Dance Collective explore Heidi’s “one-note” concept, where the singular transforms into the plural. Beginning with the simplicity of everyday movements, the performers have developed a movement score that unfolds entirely from the act of sitting. As the audience sits alongside the performers, the choreography emerges from this shared experience—sitting together, apart, in between, and next to one another. We sit with, we sit observed, and we sit as observers, creating a collective dance of presence, stillness, and connection.
