The performance assignment was quite an intriguing experience where each individual had a chance to explore their creative side and allowed them to step out of their comfort zone in creating an imaginary landscape.Each piece that was showcased had a unique aura to it.

The use of tempo in their movement from the very start to the end of the performance varied.

An example of this was at the very start of the performance, when the performers started walking, their movement was stiff and with the live music in the background, it helped me imagine that the performers are robots or are from the future. Another memorable moment from the performance was when the performers broke the illusion that they had created, they stood behind the vertical tables with their arms horizontally waving out as they synchronized their movement. At that moment, I realized the movement they are using is a sort of a gesture for hypnotizing and the performers are trying to tell us that this is just an illusion. Furthermore, if the performers had more time and resources available, I believe they could do so much more with this performance. For example using spotlights in their performance would enhance this play on illusion and deception of the
