When it comes to expressing emotion, don't underestimate the power of fancy footwork.
Overview
When it comes to expressing emotion, don't underestimate the power of fancy footwork. Whether on the stage or on the screen, there's reason that dance performances and musicals frequently build up to a frenzied display moving and grooving: sometimes, words just won't do.
As choreographers, Dancenorth's Stephanie Lake and Ross McCormack put that theory to the test on a daily basis — and now they're going to do so once more in their new combined show. In its world premiere season, IF_WAS_ investigates their chosen profession, their lives to date and their unique responses to their lived experiences.
Raw and stripped back to just the essentials, the end result is a sensory representation of Lake and McCormack's existence and knowledge thus far, and it's also the solution to a puzzle. Dancenorth artistic director Kyle Page only allowed them to work with one sound score, one costume pattern and one source of lighting each, and to a set duration — and in doing just that, the duo not only convey their inner thoughts and feelings, but their individuality.
