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.
