Sapience / Tom Slater • Professional company

Google Sapience / Tom Slater
120 minutes•Young Room
A live, unscripted encounter exploring presence, embodiment, boundary and connection, built entirely in the moment with no fixed script. Performers and audience move together through improvisation, physical awareness and spontaneous exchange, discovering in real time what the body holds, resists and releases. Rather than watching from a distance, participants are invited into direct experience, sensing where they are in relation to themselves, to others and to the space around them. Each performance is shaped only by what emerges in the room that day, with that group, in that moment, never rehearsed, never the same.
