The programme started with All that is solid melts into air, featuring two male dancers and a traditional balerina in tutu, acting rather as a puppet. The on stage cellist played amplified music by Daniel Bjarnason
The second half was The Measures Taken, featuring a quintet of three male and two female dancers. The idea was to look at the relationship between the music, the lighting installation and the dance. However, the music and lighting fusion took me back 40 years to Pink Floyd and the dancing symbiosis only worked haphazardly for me. It was great to start with but unfortunately it didn't seem to go anywhere in particular. The music by Rutgar Zuydervelt was new to me and definitely worth discovering.
