Resolution festival review – a dance trifecta that balances the mundane with the transcendent. Three distinct pieces make up this eclectic triple bill, each grappling with the liminal spaces between states.
In Seirian Griffiths' Interchange, we find ourselves in the unsettling purgatory of an afterlife administration office. A brisk voiceover guide us through a soul's emotional baggage as they revisit long-forgotten loves and relationships. With quicksilver transitions and hip-hop stylings, Griffiths masterfully choreographs this dance of not quite exorcism, but cleansing. His coiled compositions are strikingly well-acted, showcasing the weight we carry in our lives.
Meanwhile, Chinese choreographer Qi Song's rave-inspired Archive/Flesh/Echoes captures the frenetic energy of a small hours dance party. A corps of clubbers gather to lose themselves in music, with Sanki's ethereal score fueling their frenzy. Though not without its generic club filler, this piece effectively conveys the momentum of an epic night out – waxing and waning like a living, breathing force.
Isadora D'Héloïsa brings her unique blend of flamenco and voguing to Entrecuerpos, a dance that finds common ground between these two styles. By isolating hands rather than legs, she crafts a distinctive vocabulary that bridges the tempestuous footwork of flamenco with the angularity of voguing. The fusion is never more than the sum of its parts, but it's in the inventive use of skirt and movement that we find D'Héloïsa's true genius.
Each piece on this Resolution festival triple bill navigates the complexities of liminal states – be it emotional baggage, frenetic dance parties, or artistic fusion. These dances are a testament to the power of human connection and resistance in all its forms.
