Spring ^expired Free

Gandini Juggling’s new large-scale show Spring embraces deconstructed rhythms and jubilant patterning, with the talents on show primal and emblematic. A kaleidoscopic show, Spring is visually arresting from the outset and at the vanguard throughout. It is an innovative cross art form experience challenging notions of movement and physicality, exploring the relationships between contemporary dance, circus and music.

Director Sean Gandini and contemporary choreographer Alexander Whitley share a passion for pure form. They are both interested in the differences between what a word describes and the thing itself. For them, it is in the limits of the language where dance and juggling unfold their revealing power. Sean Gandini and Alexander Whitley are joined by composer Gabriel Prokofiev with a score of magical urban baroque and lighting designer Guy Hoare who uses the presence of colours and their echo’s (as they disappear from space) to tell a journey. Finally iconoclastic costume designer, Lydia Cawson dresses the shows virtuosic cast of six jugglers and four contemporary dancers.
