Kai will present wormgrunt.
Thump. Thump. What is this sound? Like a tongue in a mouth, it searches for the word: an answer, a secret, a song. A blind worm stirs in the deep dark earth. Created and performed by Kai Hynes with sound design by Casey Durand.
Kai Hynes is a butoh dancer and experimental theatre maker. He recently completed residencies at Shaking the Tree (horseplay) and the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, and performed at Club Alive (creep) and Happenings (mollusca). He is inspired by nature, magic, and play.
