Bare Bones In Action, Dancexchange

THERE is something special about Bare Bones even when the works are still in progress.

Every move and every breath are all the more significant as the space is shared by watched and watcher alike.

This programme at The Patrick Centre featured a triple bill, but retained a common thread throughout.

Meccanico, an improvisation, ran to just over ten minutes and featured some very physical dance.

In Magnification, pumping hearts, cracking bones and bubbling blood were represented in sound and movement.

Rui Horta's Container saw the six-strong cast interchanging mad dashes with stillness, group dynamics with isolation and tenderness with confrontation.
