STEPHANIE SCHOBER DANCE COMPANY (GERMANY/LONDON)
Newly
Newly is inspired by composer Veljo Tormis’ large-scale choral composition called 'Estonian Wedding Songs'. Dancers Elisabetta d’Aloia and Juraj Korec create movement and vocal material in response to the principles underlying the traditional folk music. Re-interpreting the structure of the music and using it as a framework for the dance allows a space for the dancers’ relationship to reveal itself in unexpected ways.

The Accompanists
The Accompanists has been created as a development of "Newly", and is a further exploration of the close affinity of music and dance practice. Here the relationship between the two performers is interrupted by composer Matteo Fargion who shares a selection of accompaniment materials with them, including movements, sung and spoken words. These are drawn together into increasingly complex rhythmical patterns. The result is a performance of subtle and uplifting virtuosity, which gives insight into the dynamics of how we play with and listen to other people. With lighting by Estelle Rickelton.
