Rehearsals in -22 degrees Celsius.
Images from rehearsals inside the freezing warehouse, by minus 22°Celsius.
I think we have made a World Record of Dance rehearsals, Stop-motion Video making
and Workshop by -22° Celsius Atmosphere !
According to the dancer, it is surprisingly very good for dancing.






Workshop.
We also gave a Workshop to youth / teenagers from local school,
on frozen clothes making, approach of Dance/performance,
