The sensuous meets the abstract in the work of this modern dance master. BIPED references that humans are two footed creatures. The choreography focusses on movement restricted to motion supported by the feet. Working with two dancers, he choreographed 70 phrases that were transposed into digital images. A combination of solos, duets, trios, and ensemble dances are performed live alongside these projections and digital artwork.
The stage is veiled with a front cloth onto which ethereal images of the human form are transformed into abstract shapes and figures. His Beach Birds is the result of his long, fruitful partnership with composer John Cage. They can dance like a flock of birds, when they suddenly take off.
