Using the metaphor of a wolf pack to explore the cooperative and competitive relationships between a group of people, Who is the Alpha? is a rhythmic, driving and intensely athletic piece which challenges the dancers’ stamina and provokes a visceral audience response.  It’s about group survival vs. survival of the fittest, as the dancers assert themselves in an attempt to establish dominance, or get left behind when unable to run with the pack.
