Known for thought-provoking choreography
that draws on Nelson’s unique approach to
awkward, contorted and ambiguous
movement, SND’s work is edgy, visceral and
strikingly visual.
To capture this spirit we explored graphic shapes that allow for bold assertions of movement and physical form. The geometric language serves as a library of bodily abstractions that can express and suggest movement in a way that feels spontaneous but grounded, instinctive but intentional. These gestures now serve as totems for the company.
Extended into kinetic compositions with typography and text layout, the brand system reflects the minimalist idiosyncratic spirit of the performance ensemble.
