Description Two works. The Fibonacci (Columbus), co-commisisoned by the Festival of Colour and NZDC, explores the hidden pattern that weaves us together and reflects the harmony of our world. Columbus, alongside sound and spatial designer Rowan Pierce, uses the mathematical Fibonacci sequence as a point of departure. A sequence describing the arrangement of leaves on a stem, petals on a flower and the spiralling of galaxies inspires a physical language that at its heart explores energy pathways through movement, as the connecting force between us all. … Completing this double bill is the high-octane physicality of Kim Jae Duk's work Sigan, which draws form the dual themes of meditation and attack. His dynamic score features traditional Korean instruments and the dancers shine in this work which is '…not only visually, but technically flawless.' (DANZ).
