I saw this show at greenroom late last year and managed to simultaneously enjoy it while not really understanding what was going on. Since then I have learnt some more about an area of dance that I was completely unaware of and about some of the people who have worked creatively to shake-up up contemporary dance performance - Yvonne Rainer, Steve Paxton (a significant figure if one has an interest in male dancing, as I do), David Gordon, Trisha Brown - I suppose much in the way that someone like Samuel Beckett shook up the cosy world of drama with his desconstructivist approach to story, setting and dialogue.
My own taste and experience has always tended towards the 'mainstream' although I go and see performances that range from classical ballet to experimental physical theatre. Pavlos has challenged me to open my eyes a bit further (and do a bit more research before making snap judgements).
Anyway, Pavlos is back at work after a break and has posted a gallery of photos from that world premiere performance here.
