| Description |
Penta Dances consists of a series of scenes in which some forms of dance (ballroom, classical, tap dancing) and a series of everyday movements are compared and contrasted to show how tenuous the boundary is between 'dance' and 'movement'. The piece is neither didactic nor polemic in its approach, but relies rather on the surprise factor to evoke in the spectator unexpected associations which connect apparently unrelated areas of movement. 100 Percent Synthetic Fibre is the result of improvisations with fabrics of different colours. Because its four parts were not created at the same time, it reflects in some way Penta's changing approach to choreography. |
