Failsafe: A Choreography by Scott Thurston offers an entrancing fusion of movement and language, inviting readers into a kinetic journey where poetry and dance entwine. Each phrase pulses with energy, unraveling the body in motion, while the rhythm of words mimics the fluidity of limbs in flight. Thurston’s exploration of kinepoetics—his distinctive practice marrying dance with poetry—guides readers to experience the very act of becoming, where the body’s gestures craft meaning as dynamic as any dance. This work beckons both dancers and readers to lose themselves in the perpetual transitions of space, time, and self.
