Threefold
Dance Experience.
‘A dance for the forgotten’ will not be forgotten quickly.
Tasdance and Dancenorth turned on a stunning performance at The Theatre Royal,
Hobart last night. The two modern dance companies preformed one of the most
vigorous and sensual dance routines I have seen for quite some time. The
choreography moved between the sensual and search for survive as waves of
dancers throw themselves across the stage only to crash on rocks of
disappointment. A shorten version of a piece first performed as part of Ten
Days on the Island in 2007, a dance for the forgotten was all things to all
people.
The vigour, beauty, and presence of the dancers as they
fought for survival revealed a sense of pathos that moved between the medieval
world and the present. Choreographed by Raewyn Hill, the two dance companies demanded
total attention of their audience. The almost religious musical backdrop forced
the viewer to dig deeply into their heart. All the dancers were superb, but Erynne
Mulholland deserves special mention, her magic presence seemed to dominate and
hold together the performance. This is not to dismiss the other dancers as all
dug deep into their souls to produce an unforgettable night.
