The Living Room 2010
“An innately playful yet thoughtful package of postmodern concepts”
Donald Huteura, Dance Europe
The Living Room is an intimate dance set in what appears to be the bare bones of a living or rehearsal room. The performers interfere or seemingly assist each other’s ‘solo moment’ together inhabiting an imagined domestic space. The work cuts intricate movement with informal banter and wry humour, as the performers struggle to live through another show.
