Weight x3/5

Weight x 3 is a triptych set to the unmistakable pulsating rhythms of minimalist composer Steve Reich, in which both the music and the dancers seem caught in never-evening loops and repetitions. It features two duets ? the dancers moving in near perfect unison, reflecting the music's shifting patterns ? and a skilful solo in which a female dancer twirls and manipulates a long staff with amazing speed and dexterity. 5 is part of Tao Ye's numbered series of minimalist experiments that explore the potential of the human body as a purely visual form, freed from the constraints of representation or narrative. Accompanied by the music of Chinese Indie-folk-rock composer Xiao He, five dancers touch each other; never separating, moving in an indistinguishable mass. Part of the Edinburgh International Festival
