GRAVITY AND LEVITY – CRAWDADDY
Sat 26 August, 1pm & 3pm
Crawdaddy is an aerial dance piece by Gravity & Levity for three performers who tumble, spin and glide through a looming wooden and metal aerial rig where different levels of choreographic interactions are played out. The tensile strain of their connective ropes exposes the performer’s vulnerability through their interdependency as they navigate the nature of human relationships, both literally & metaphorically.
Played live, Scott Smith’s taut steel guitar strings release raucous blues and swampy atmospheric loops for Crawdaddy’s imagined setting of backyard Americana.
