Review: Puffing Bodies by Maya Dance Theatre and IPTanz

★★★☆☆ (Performance attended 4/12/19) A collection of choreographies wrestling with our complex relationship with our bodies and the societal expectations lumped upon them. No matter how unattainable perfection is, it’s curious how much we beat ourselves up for not achieving it. This is a phenomena that applies especially so to the concept of the physical body, the most immediate visual representation of us, bearing the … Continue reading Review: Puffing Bodies by Maya Dance Theatre and IPTanz

Review: MILIEU 2019 by Frontier Danceland

★★★☆☆ (Performance attended 15/11/19) Double bill exploring contrasting ideas of individualism and the community. No man is an island, and no matter who we are or where we’re born, there is a truth universally acknowledged that in our lives, we must inevitably deal with a community and our relationship with them at some point. That is an issue that lies at the heart of Frontier … Continue reading Review: MILIEU 2019 by Frontier Danceland

da:ns festival 2019: Pas de Deux by Raimund Hoghe (Review)

Finding tenderness and connection in the face of seemingly irreconcilable differences.  Raimund Hoghe is a shorter than average 70-year old German man with a discernible hunchback, pale and serious. Takashi Ueno is a much younger Japanese man of average height, slim and lithe. One wonders how the two might even begin to find a point of connection with each other with these distinct physical builds and … Continue reading da:ns festival 2019: Pas de Deux by Raimund Hoghe (Review)
