Quick, Now, Here, Now, Always |
January 2008 (Resolution! 2008 Robin Howard Dance Theatre, The Place) |
|
|
‘Are we the unwilling, led by the unqualified, doing the unnecessary for the ungrateful?’ If someone falls, who catches? If one jumps, do we all? Project Mashed Potato examines group communication, mass decisions, small initiations with greater consequences: what is inevitability and how do we go with the flow? ‘Sleek, sullen floorwork summons a cluster of creatures: scuttling on- stage, the dancers of Project Mashed Potato's Quick, Now, Here, Now, Always scatter across the floor, a pattern of shifting fractals. The stage becomes a petri dish of micro-encounters in Rachel Birch-Lawson's chic study on intercommunication.’ |

Usanu have chosen to explore an intense, intimate and imprisoning Fiesta where the spectators are all unsuspecting performers contributing to the evening. A saucy and attention-grabbing hour packed with panic, reluctance, excitement, hot hands and hopefully a hell of a lot of smiles! |
