Alternating between complex rhythmic dance and poetic textual interpretation, nine dancers showcase the grandeur of classical Indian dance’s physical and emotive vocabulary in this prologue to Quicksand. For Quicksand, of which a first version was presented in March 2011 at the Kalanidhi Dance Festival, the Toronto Star’s Michael Crabb described it best when he said "in the rambunctiously provocative Quicksand – the very notion of cultural distinction is jettisoned as a multiracial cast of 10 bare chested men – mash the Navarasa, or nine archetypal moods popular in Indian dance, into a techno-hip, strutting declaration of freedom from the constraints of tradition and conventional sexuality. Self-expression is the thematic link between Quicksand's cascade of bold, surging ensembles and more contemplative solos.” For more information, please visit www.indance.ca For a preview of Quicksand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCYCtEvhK_0&feature=player_embedded |
