DANCE

This Italian dance group consisted of nine elegant female dancers. With a very basic set of six wooden crates, these girls managed to move through the space very smoothly. The dancers performed a number of different types of acts, including graceful solo performances to full cast performances. Unfortunately, in these scenes, the dancing became loose and did not seem to fit well on stage.

Towards the beginning of the performance, the girls moved without music. It was difficult to try to work out exactly what the girls were doing in this scene. They did not seem to flow well with the lack of music.

The music involved very nice, mellow, rhythmical beats that the girls did follow well and moved their bodies in time to the music.

The company had a strange taste in props – ranging from a scene where two girls ate spaghetti in synchrony; to shoes with springs on the top, that took up the majority of the initial scene of the production. Another unique twist in this performance was where the girls perform in the dark with torches on themselves. This focuses the audience’s attention straight directly on to the girls.

A nice, relaxing piece of dance but with no extraordinary features.
