Antonick's CDF project, Duologue, is an in-depth investigation of what it means to be a duet artist. Within Duologue, Antonick will research existing forms of duet, including Argentine Tango, Balinese LeGong, Contact Improvisation, and Ventriloquism, seeking to create new relationships between movers uncommon in contemporary dance vocabulary.
