Bodytorque. À La Mode (3.5/5)
The Australian Ballet
Sydney Theatre
29 May 2010
Birthday Suit: choreography Damien Welch; Fold: Robert Curran; Nocturnal Phantasm: Timothy Brown; South of Eden: Daniel Gaudiello; Trace: Alice Topp
Curran and Welch’s experience and style as principal dancers stood out amongst five new works on display. Opening with the gentle sophistication and classic style of “Fold” set a high standard nicely juxtaposed by Welch’s humorous take on dressing up (Tzu-Chao Chou outstanding in the lead). The other pieces showed potential if incomplete ideas. In its seventh year Bodytorque remains an innovative and exciting Australian Ballet initiative fusing new choreographers with contemporary designers and composers.
