Awakening (2013)Choreography: Jodie Randolph
Music: Olafur Arnalds & Max Richter Premiere: December 2013 Performance: Detroit Dance Race Location: Detroit, MI Note: This evolving work began as a duet exploring the idea of dreams and ultimately discovering subconscious thoughts about self, blurring the line between reality and perception. A solo was later added to the work as an extension of the duet and finished its first full version in 2014. |
Right from the start, the piece was very engaging. The calm fluidity of the dancers gave the piece an almost hypnotic feeling and both dancers were able to make their movements expansive without breaking the delicacy of the piece. Also, the connection between the two dancers, along with the connection they held with the audience contributed to a spellbinding performance from start to finish.
