White, Gareth and Munro, Jane (2012) Invitation. [Performance]

Abstract

Invitation is a participatory dance performance inspiring trepidation and comfort. One dancer invites individual audience members onto the stage. First, the performers are figures in a restoration show dancing in this period style, only to return to the stage in their training clothes. In this contemporary section they invite the audience one by one to join them in a simple release-based movement sequence that draws on images of the familial.
