About Wholly Unwinding(musical)
“Wholly Unwinding” is a dance work presented live at National Sawdust in Brooklyn, featuring performers makemake and makemake presents. Built for an audience seated close to the action, it treats movement as a form of live composition, where patterns are assembled, tested, and undone in real time. In a city that regularly imports dance from elsewhere, this kind of venue-specific work reads as a local study in how bodies and sound share a room. Its clearest strength is its patience with process rather than plot.
