| Celebrating their debut UK performance,
Brazilian born choreographer, Rodolpho Leoni, and his German-based
company of 5 dancers perform a visceral new dance piece,
Baud.
‘Baud’ is
the mathematical term measuring time per second. Leoni
uses the same term for his choreography, which explores
the speed of information as it passes between dancers
and the audience. How fast can we see and sense movement?
What triggers our perception of movement? In Baud pulsating
movement patterns are transferred through tension,
impulses and energies, weaving an intricate web of
communication. Delicate, intimate gestures alternate
with high velocity outbursts, catapulting dancers into
sudden action, or freezing movement into powerful stillness. A mesmerising performance of abstract choreography, Baud features
striking lighting design with silver reflectors and
a haunting soundtrack of lingering, cool jazz and crackling
radio sounds. |
