Nice perf by SDT... Posted by Unknown , Wednesday, June 18, 2008 at 2:04 am, in

Went to watch SDT perf, Continuum, at esplanade last Sat. Nice... three Choreographers, three different style... dancers from different parts of the world... each displaying their uniqueness, showing off their passions in their dances.

I particularly enjoyed the last dance piece,Glow-Stop, during the perf . Choreograph by Jorma Elo. Even though there are some gitches, music stop playing after 10sec... the dancers are able to react appropriatelly. Most of us didnt even realise the music have technical issue, till they drop the curtain. After a couple of mins, they restarted the dance... and I dun see any complaint from the audiences. Nice job and nice audiences :) glad to be in this crowd... I guess ppl will start "boo-ing" already if its some place else.

The dance is around 16 mins, if he uses the full length of the music which is ard 16mins... its a pretty fast pace comtemporary dance... I guess thats why I like it, fast pace, steps I never seen b4 (refreshing)... very smooth flow... even though dancers are moving in and out of the stage, u dun feel distracted. Individual techniques are of coz pro... they are pro afterall... lol... The costume uses very bold colour,RED, match with dim dark background and a strong light beam shining down from the corner... just like lights from the other side of the cave type of feel.

I tot the dancers will wear something darker to match the setting, however using red created an interesting combination... really brings out the dancers. I especially likes the lightnings and the choice of music ... their dance steps harmonize with the music beat for beat, rhythm for rhythm. Producing a very smooth and beautiful transition in between scenes, and I can feel the chemistry among dancers, their tight collaboration and precision carried out to pave way for the next movement by other dancers.

All in all, the dancers created an intimate bond with the audiences leaving them breathless and in awe.
