Using imagistic movement, sound and text, Crumbling juxtaposes strength and vulnerability, the meeting of the other-worldly and the senses in the body, and pushes the body’s expressive qualities and communication with the audience. The piece digs into the creative desire to ascend and the destructive desire to crash – the impulse to destroy even oneself in the service of transformation.
About Matthew Romantini
I am a multi-faceted professional, working in the fields of: Performing Arts (Dance, Theatre and Staging of Orchestral Concerts), Yoga (Therapeutic Yoga, Moksha, Yin, Vinyasa and Hatha), Voice (I teach effective communication and voice to Yoga and fitness instructors) and Education (I am a TA at York University, and host coaching, workshops and retreats live and online in my fields). These areas all cross-pollinate (as a colleague has recently pointed out — they are actually inseparable from one another for me), and I am interested in the intersections between them. I am led by the desire for transformation in my audiences and client base, and I make all my yoga, artistic and educational decisions based on that.
