Transitions
Off to Wolverhampton last night, to see the Transitions Dance Company. This is a bunch of about a dozen dance graduates (yes, it is possible to take a BA in modern dance, and an MA), based in London. They're mostly young, fresh-faced, and come up with all their own work. In addition to teaching and demonstrations, the group also tours its own work.
It is very difficult to summarise the performance - a series of small vignettes around a loose theme - without describing each individual part. Taken together, they challenged my conceptions of the capabilities of the human body, and how one can express the most subtle of emotions through simple physical movement. Certainly worth seeing, if they're in your area.
