A choreographed performance of two bodies in gravity-defying motion, high above the crowd. Watch as the performers appear to float effortlessly in the air. For them the wall becomes the floor, the sky becomes the stage, and the expected interactions with a building are quite literally flipped on their head.
Inspired by the short film made on the Wilyabrup sea cliffs Duet with the Wind is a site specific vertical dance performance, utilising the side of a local building. The resilience and fragility of the human body is juxtaposed against the structures we have made and the environment we all exist in.
Vertical dance is a performance art where a dancer is suspended in a harness from a rope or cable and explores the difference in gravity, weightlessness and varied movement possibilities offered by the suspended state.
