rain

In Rain (2001), the choreography engages in a complex relationship with the music of Steve Reich’s 'Music for 18 musicians', a work in which Reich combines the strict rhythmicality of percussion and piano with the freer rhythm of voices and wind instruments. Likewise, the choreography links mathematical precision and a strong expressivity of the dancers. One single basic phrase is endlessly turned around, split up and transformed, in an infinite caleidoscope of contrasts, between active and passive, female and male, yin and yang, accelaration and deceleration, dance and music. This is a video of the soundscore and a couple images from the performance by Rosas. We will perform this on Friday!

And here is a video I found of the opening section working with spiral patterns.
