As It Stands
Choreography: Ross McCormak
As It Stands is a powerful, awe-inspiring dance work that pushes the limits of virtuosic dance and design. Influenced by the creations of American sculptor, Richard Serra, large sculptures punctuate a ritualistic world of mystery and knowledge. Eight dancers are the inhabitants/guardians and the environment creates the rules by which they move. Made up of formidable steel-like monoliths that tower upwards from the floor, the setting imposes a striking contrast between the order of design and the chaos of human nature, in this space hard structural lines and fragile sinuous movement meet.
