Donna talking with Julie Alexander on ladder. The rehearsal ladders were quite small to the 8 foot ladders for the performances. (note there wasn’t enough ladders for that particular rehearsal so Antonio Ramos sat on a utility car) Photo by: Michael Casselli

About
Uchizono’s fascination with how our sense of reality is shaped by our perceptions is the point of departure for Thin Air, drawing source material from the Buddhist tenet of "emptiness" as well as concepts of quantum physics.
