6 quicksilver dancers: movement,music,film&light
ICE reflects on how technology infiltrates our lives, set in a clinical white space with powerful visual projections, fast paced streams of movement & bodies frozen in time.
As the performance starts & the temperature drops to freezing point, ICE allows us to preserve the moment & dream together of how the future might be. As the thaw comes, do we cross over & become something else? Or are we forever crystalised. Is this our future? Be touched & amazed. ICE is raw, vibrant and full of expression. With cutting-edge Japanese style, precise timing, strength, control & fierce execution. Music & dance to elevate the soul. Click here for tour dates
“The poise, balance and skill of the dancers were amazing and the stop-start and repetitive nature of parts of the routines added to the sense of a world where machines rule.” The Westmorland Gazette
“An eclectic mix of movement styles and video graphics projected on to the floor and back wall of the stage. All of these choreo-electronic shenanigans are designed to take a long hard look at the world of electronic communications and what happens when you take them away.” Article 19
“The combination and overall effect of the dancers movements with the lighting and music was very powerful. A sensory experience that cannot be expressed in words and does not need to be. At times disturbing – offering a frightening glimpse in to the future of mankind. You do not have to ‘know’ about contemporary dance to become absorbed in the performance.”
“Brilliant, holds the audience without words, creates an electric atmosphere, would love to watch more of ACE’s work. I would describe the show as a very ‘big’ dance piece, it doesn’t do ANYthing by halves.”
“Mind blowing – loved the style and energy, use of music and graphic animation. I loved the bit where the dancers were chucking themselves on the floor and the fast disturbing strobe sequences. Felt a lot of combined emotions of humanity, hate and love. Moving”
