Tactile Quartet(s)

The curves of a string instrument are sometimes compared to the hips of a human body. So it’s by no means far-fetched that four dancers should express a string quartet in movement. In her Tactile Quartet(s), choreographer Vera Tussing seeks out the interface between music and dance. She has reworked this performance for a young audience. The movements of the musicians - who play work by Franz Schubert, Caroline Shaw, Florence Price, Georg Friedrich Haas and Michael Picknett - are carried through to the dancers. Will you be able to keep still?
