INSTINCTUAL is a captivating exploration of our innate drives and behaviors that often operate beneath the surface of conscious thought. This full-length performance choreographed by artistic director Ginny Ching-Yin Lo presents a series of interconnected vignettes and movement pieces that tap into our subconscious understanding of instinct.

The choreography centers on raw, expressive movement that suggests primal urges of physicality, characterized by fluid, animalistic motions, bursts of energy, oxytocin desire, repetitive, ritualistic patterns that reflect the automatic nature of instinct. The dancers’ interactions span reactive movements, gentle mirroring, evocative emotion, subtle unease, highlighting the varied ways instinct manifests. Instinct invites the audience to reflect on the complex interplay between their conscious minds and the deeper, often hidden forces that shape their behaviors and experiences.
