Within/Splinter
A double-bill that challenges StopGAP’s five dancers to draw on their individual physicalities. Working with Spanish-based choreographer Thomas Noone and Rob Tannion (Stan Won’t Dance), these performers, with and without disabilities, reach deep within themselves to present two exceptional new dance pieces. Choreographed by Thomas Noone,
Within sees a lone dancer drawn into her own imaginary world by four compelling characters. Touching duets and explosive movement play out on stage to an eccentric soundtrack created by Spanish composer Pedro Navarrete that sets harpsichords clashing with Indian instruments.
Splinter is an artistic collaboration between choreographer Rob Tannion, Artistic Director Vicki Balaam and the dancers, driven by Jim Pinchen’s thunderous Japanese soundscape. The company wrestle for a balance of humility amidst creative conflict and the demands of group cohesion. Who would you call on when your world turns upside down and will the group hold together or splinter?
