Hyper-Ventilate is a 25-minute immersive dance performance that personifies the silent experience of anxiety, panic, and depression - through dance, documentary, projection and audience participation. This visceral performance creates space for those who suffer to feel seen and to generate awareness and spark empathy in those who have never experienced mental health issues.

“I have never experienced true anxiety and in my ignorance dismissed it as another fleeting emotion similar to nervousness or frustration, but after watching these incredible artists, the gravity of their struggles was so palpable… it’s remarkable work and I’ll hold these emotions in my heart for the rest of my life.”

"Every time I tell someone that I experience depression, they always say the same thing. "You don't look like you do." I never know what to say because... what does it mean to look like you suffer from depression? Your choreography is what it looks like."
