ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
CARBON53 plays with the idea of repetition: “I’m interested in the idea of appropriation, which is used in the visual art world but not so much in the dance world. The idea is, you’ve got a defined image of something, and what happens when it starts to degrade? It’s like a carbon copy.” – Stephen Mills

PRESS
“Mills’ “CARBON53′ explored the concept of carbon copies in dance form. ‘CARBON53’ is exacting.”
Austin American Statesman
“…the movement is made to mimic this carbon-copy effect through complicated repetition. Mills plays with this idea of repetition in ‘CARBON53,’ but it comes with a twist.”
