Wipe That ____ Off Your Face explores what goes on between our ears.  Each audience member receives headphones and follows the stories of three men in the city.  A movement piece for the stream of consciousness - the viewer and the dancer create a story together through the sounds in their heads.   Built with non-trained dancers, Wipe That ____ Off Your Face traces the duet between brain and body.
