In Grace and Harmony Thomasson is joined by a small group of performers for a musical theatre experiment. The work uses song and dance to describe the fantasy and sometimes awkward reality of trying to gracefully move in and out of social encounters. Having learnt the song and dance routine separately, they come together in public to perform for the first time, and do their best to move in time and sing in harmony.

Performers: Federico Hewson, Anna Holmes, Jos McKain, Shade Théret, Stanley Weissohn
