"Loopdiver: The Journey Of A Dance" explores the creation of an original performance work by the award-winning international dance company Troika Ranch. A dance experiment on the repetitions of the modern world evolves into an exploration into the repetitive patterns in which ordinary people find themselves trapped. The half-hour documentary follows the creative efforts of company members over a two year period as they struggle with the extreme physical and emotional demands of creating an experimental new work.

This program originally aired in 2011.
