Los Angeles socialite Ryan Heffington has become a popular name in the art world. From his 2013 collaboration with painter Nolan Hendrickson, entitled KTCHN, to a position as choreographer for Sia's epic "Chandelier" video, Heffington also premiered, which was also announced via Twitter, his most recent project: a punk rock water ballet entitled WADING GAMES.
WADING GAMES is a new production that has been described as a "true danse macabre that will fascinate, delight and call into question notions of morality and survival."
And if you could not have guessed, yes, it takes place in the water.
According to The Huffington Post, the aesthetic experience was scored by musician Banks and includes songs specifically remixed for the performance, which were also accompanied by a video film projection entitled "The Element of Human Physical Communication."
And if that does not seem strange enough, the 10-year-old piece took place, for one night only, in the pool of the Ritz Carlton South Beach Dec. 4.
It has been described as "An elegant dance piece whose subversive narrative explodes with cut-like movements and mental turmoil."
Heffington went on to say: "The landscape evokes danger with the possibility of death, yet still upholds elegance and class."
Check out an exclusive interview at The Huffington Post with Heffington discussing the production of WADING GAMES.
