HIT is a choreographic and musical project about jump rope used as a percussive instrument to manifest embodied rhythms. The agile and compact version is called HIT OUT.
HIT elevates the intimate practice of training into a performative action: the hammering succession of rope strokes is an echo of rebellion against those forces that would have us lying motionless on the ground with our eyes closed.
There’s a reason why you came here
Every second getting far and far
Failure brings a new perspective
To renew the meaning of your past
High hopes and higher mind
To read a world that’s blind
There’s no reason baby I won’t lie
There’s no reason to give up the fight
