RNCM Theatre, 28 October 2015
A young, vibrant company with an eclectic, electrifying approach to dance.
They performed three works in total: 24, V and Wide Awakening. For 24, we had at most four dancers onstage, though that was rare. Duos dominated, sometimes solos or trios were seen. A single dancer for V, very balletic, with pointy toes and turned out feet. Emily Pottage was the dancer, I think. The longest work, Wide Awakening, saw all four dancers dressed in red. There was a stirring accompaniment by Dame Evelyn Glennie, showing why she is such a virtuoso percussionist.
Altogether, the evening had lyricism and athleticism, grace and power. Your mind wandered along xysts constructed by the dancers’ graceful movement. Perfect modern dance.
