How should we, as individuals and as a society, use this wealth of information? The dances showcase how increased awareness can lead to increased responsibility, fear or guilt.

Act II leaps to the year 3012 to explore social and cultural norms far in the future. With the help of original music, movement, props and digital media projections, the dancers explore technology’s crippling effect on human interaction and how cultures will ultimately merge together in a way that will make them individually unrecognizable. Subject matter for the dances includes education, relationships, natural resources and overall quality of life.
