A contemporary dance duet by Brittany and Natasha Kohler for Dance Plant ​Collective, unravelling the intricate layers of twinhood.

Rituals of Similarity is a new contemporary dance duet by Brittany and Natasha ​Kohler for Dance Plant Collective, unravelling the intricate layers of twinhood.

Born 7 minutes apart, we entered this world together. Side by side, or ​sometimes top and tail, we are two individuals, recognised as one. Rituals of ​Similarity explores the fine line between warmth and friction, rivalry and unity, ​synchrony and idiosyncrasy. It is a pas de deux of sameness, doubles, and ​contrasts. 

How do two identical bodies navigate each other's physicality? Who takes up ​more space? How does individuality exist within identical appearance? 

Witness the soft, intimate beginnings, the identical experiences, the subtle spot-​the-differences. It’s time to shake off the twin tropes and be confronted with ​reality - we come together, from elsewhere.
