Melodic and melancholy with a fair share of feisty, Next To presents feminine power with sublime beauty and vulernability. The hypnotic flow of Michael Wall's composition coupled with the grace and grit of Penny Saunders' movement, we are transported to a world that would never second guess the worth of a woman.
