2019 Performer Plug In Winners
THEME – ELEMENTS OF SURPRISE
“A Twist in the Flow” by the Enforcers of the Unexpected.
Life’s memorable moments are not by our own design. Our interplay with others always brings a twist in what we want to see as a clear flowing path. No matter how fast we maneuver, a surprise can seemingly throw us to the mercy of the elements and the power they wield. Yet we rely on these same raw elements as we flow together to stay alive, satiated and warm, through all the twists.
