Resolution 26: Antonello Sangirardi, Host Bodies, AmyFoskettDance
It was a loud night. Not in decibels, but in the way each of the three short works occupied the act of looking.
It was a loud night. Not in decibels, but in the way each of the three short works occupied the act of looking.
A varied selection of choreographic voices… Every work showed a different sense of direction, whether through ideas, energy or physical presence
The dancers are committed and the themes are ambitious. What I miss is not effort, but clarity.
Three works that approach dance from very different directions. Movement functioned as performance, but also a way of listening, gathering and questioning
All three pieces show performers with ability and intent, but none of them offers a thread I can follow.
From theatrical storytelling, to an intimate duet built around physical touch, to an abstract collaboration between movement and installation
Some works appear fully formed, while others feel provisional, still in dialogue with larger ideas yet to come… energy emerges as a shared currency
In Interchange, Seirian Griffiths’ choreography of dance, gymnastics and more is totally absorbing… grace, fluidity and tremendous technical skill
Across the evening, each work investigates the combination of different art forms as a means of shaping a personal artistic language.
Sound repeatedly insists on being more than accompaniment. It presses into the choreography, shaping timing, attention and pressure on the body
Three new choreographers in a balanced, satisfying evening
