Balbir Singh 'Decreasing Infinity' review Jo Thorne Rural Arts ON Tour


Decreasing Infinity- A duet for two male dancers

This piece explored the musical relationship between draws on the relationship between classical Indian Dance and Contemporary Dance.
The piece is accompanied by a tabla player and a beat boxer.

The duet was interesting to watch, I loved the intricacy of the movement and the moments where the dancers were perfectly in unison.  A beautiful section of the piece involved one dancer performing a head stand, while the other dancer mirrored his leg movements with his arms.

Visually a stunning piece to watch overall, however the transitions between sections were not as fluid as they could have been.

This piece would be suitable for Rural Touring if a dance floor was toured, there was little floor work so this would make the work suitable for Rural Touring.

The companies other touring work ‘Play of Percentages’ features 6 female dancers and lots of floor work so may not be suitable for small venues.
