Tiny Slopes

NAT CURSIO CO.
in development 

Tiny Slopes is about learning to skateboard. About learning. About risk, failure, vulnerability and little wins. The project places four women, skilled in dance, in the unfamiliar and ever-evolving process of learning to skateboard. It is a choreography of actions and problems; of body, object, and sound, studying and attempting to make visible the humility one adopts in order to learn something new. Tiny Slopes is as much about what we don’t know as what we do and sees the performers learning, failing and changing in real time.
