Crescendo, not as a climax, but as a quiet wave. A quiet passing through a trio of bodies, conjoined by an ever mutating flow of movements, song and listening.
This triple headed, triple voiced, triple bodied solo, creates a space of great
tenderness, care and attention, in which three can attempt to become one.
With this new dance work, Crescendo, Icelandic choreographer Katrín Gunnarsdóttir draws upon the history of women’s collective physical labour and in particular its relation to repetitive motions and song, to generate a situation of intimate female assembly, convergence and coalescence.
Katrín Gunnarsdóttir is an award-winning choreographer and dancer based in Reykjavík. She has been presented at numerous venues and festivals in Iceland, including Reykjavík Dance Festival, Lókal International Theatre Festival and the National Theatre of Iceland.
