Here are 3 minutes of dress rehearsal footage of Oxygen, the Made By YOU 2011 young choreographer commission by Alexa Mason:
This is how Alexa describes her duet:
Oxygen is a journey for two people exploring things about themselves and each other. I have been playing with the idea of survival, looking in detail at certain things we do as humans/animals to stay alive. What happens when there are only two people fighting for the same thing when there is only enough for one? - do they argue? fight and manipulate each other for the space before them? or perhaps help each other on their way.Choreography: Alexa Mason
