Off the Grid is a conceptual dance film that asks what would post electricity dance look like if we were somehow forced to live rurally with all of this urban experience and influence? Sprung from this question, Off the Grid is an aesthetic exploration of the rural and urban divide. Six dancers deal with the mysterious influence of environment.
