Where the heart is

Where the heart is (2.5/5)

Expressions Dance Company

3rd June 2010

(Choreographer: Natalie Weir)

Somewhat lesser than its parts. Nice theme – young man returning to deserted family home recalls events from his past. Interesting mournful music for piano and violin played on stage and accompanied by the excellent and haunting contralto of Pearly Black. The contemporary choreography was well executed by the six dancers but lacked a resonance with the subject. Occasionally everything jelled and the heart was here, more often it was somewhere else.
