Ballet dancer Pina Bausch could take one word and create an entire choreoraphy from it. As such, the idea of falling set the tone for Jack Davison and Nell Kalonji’s foray for AnOther Magazine Spring/Summer 2018. Here, voluminous pieces – some light and barely-there, others heavy and stiff – interact with the space around them; so much so that these two definable spaces become one in the haze of motion.

“Wild ice skating,” or “Nordic skating,” is both an art and a science. A skater seeks out the thinnest, most pristine black ice possible—both for its smoothness, and for its high-pitched, laser-like sounds.
