They can often be found wandering the woods, cozy with a cup of tea, or delving into dance. Storytelling through embodiment is something V has been exploring for many years. They have been dancing for about a decade, moving through a variety of styles including folk dances, ballroom, modern, and lyrical. V’s favorite part of Das Biest’s production process is playing with various shapes and forms that flow into its own crafted choreography. Over the years, their dance practice has grown to embrace ecstatic and organic movement as their primary form of creative expression.
