Emotions Physical Theatre presents “Clinically Happy,” a multi-media show that follows the participants of a clinical trial to discover the scientific root of happiness. Fusing athletic contemporary dance with film and props, choreographer Shawn Rawls has created an immersive theatrical experience that positions the viewer as a scientist and the dancers as case studies. Edgy duets test the limits of relational happiness while eloquent solos explore an elusive sense of inner solace. Dancers join in a stunning ensemble as the audience evaluates camaraderie verses competition. With humor and poignancy, Emotions Physical Theatre embarks on a journey to define the seemingly intangible roots of our collective desire for fulfillment and gut-wrenching laughter.
