Borne Dance Company – Performing “Skin” – Choreography by Katie Kilbourn in collaboration with Kianna Moye and the dancers

“Skin” focuses on the concept of nature versus nurture and man’s assent from our natural selves.  The piece is inspired by Freud’s theory of the Id, Ego, and Superego and how humans have evolved overtime into complicated creatures plagued by societal pressures, materialism, and perfectionism.  “Skin” explores the nature of humans primitive and instinctual side versus learned societal expectations placed upon them.  We are forever trying to find our place in the world, in the universe, and in our own skin.
