BODIES – A full-length work three years in the making, NDT and commissioned guest artist Fayzah Fire will complete the final three sections of this five section work which explores the miraculous systems of the human body. Drawing from a diverse array of movement styles including ballet, street jazz and modern dance, plus vivid slide projections, BODIES is an enticing escapade into the highly synchronized dual hemispheres of the brain (Hemispheres), the rapid relays of the central nervous system (Nerve), the rhythmical beatings of the human heart (Heart), the pulsating flow of blood through the circulatory system (Pulse), and the myriad motions of our amazing muscles (Brawn). The first two sections, created in 2012 and winter 2013 respectively, have been called “compelling and courageous” by iDanz News and “intriguing” by Fit Engine, and were exceptionally well received during initial showings.
