Tracker (2008)
Photo credit: James Rowbotham. Dancers: Chay Burrows and Carrie Whitaker
Tracker begins with a seed of thought which gathers momentum and starts something. The quartet are propelled by an inner dynamic that takes them in and out of the floor through folding limbs; relationships emerge, beginning with caution and then revised with more urgency.
Tracker premiered at Resolution! The Place 2009 and was reworked for the In Our Blood Tour 2011.
“Capoeira-like challenges in slow motion, rolling effortlessly from the floor as if gravity had dissolved into the smoke that flanked the stage”
