Breaking Point is an intense depiction of the fight for our heart’s desire. Whether it is love, friendship, forgiveness, or a secret longing — these things can take us to our limit.

Suitably paired with the bold and pulsating sounds of Audiomachine, Renee I. McDonald’s high-powered, modern-based choreography captures the willpower and frenzy it takes to keep up “the fight” until you hit your breaking point.
