The Palm of your Hand
Vera Tussing’s sequel to T-Dance continues to work with movement and tactility. The dancers and the public share the space. Arranged in an ellipse, the public embodies the boundary of the theatrical space. The skin forms the fourth wall.
Social acts, such as shaking hands and high fives, are interspersed with classic choreographic patterns that we can experience ‘up close’. The ellipse arrangement creates a dynamic between centre and periphery, intimacy and distance.
The spectator transforms from a passive to an engaged participant, who, along with the dancers, discovers and shapes the space. In this sense, Tussing aspires to the dynamics of a good conversation: a delicate balance between listening and talking, where no one takes their position for granted.
