Step into a world where rhythm unravels, gravity dissolves and energy converges. Vortex is the new dance production from Julia Robert & Rudi Cole, where the stage becomes the ‘eye of the tornado.’ Magnetic, vital, and captivating, this powerful work reveals how we humans can activate deep reservoirs of unexplored resilience within ourselves to adapt, transform and evolve in any apparent chaos.
