Assemblies for One Body
Rhiannon Newton takes her own dancing to pieces in a challenging new work.
Overview
Love dance, music and movement, but want to see something different? We don’t just mean a performance outside the norm. We mean something you won’t see the next evening, even if you go to the same show again — and after seeing Assemblies for One Body, you might be inclined to.
Dancer and choreographer Rhiannon Newton takes audiences inside a living experiment, with minimalism, simplicity and deconstruction key. In a stripped-back space, Newton improvises an energetic contemporary routine, starting every performance with a new series of repetitive and unconstrained movements. She then breaks her unique dance down into its fundamental components, trying to chart their emergence and decay.
Swept up in the same spirit of experimentation, collaborating sound artist Kynan Tan shapes the acoustic field that accompanies Newton’s display, with the entire show played live and taking place inside an installation of eight subwoofer piles. The end result is a shuddering expression of bodies, sounds and space that changes night after night.
