Piece Description: ‘Big Hill’ is a dance work for five dancers that uses the natural incline of a hill as its stage. Mountain (or in this case a hill) is a universal metaphor for the action of striving. The dancers embody the emotional and human experience of striving through the physical trajectory of travelling up and down the hill.
