Beyond Repair Dance – Temperate Pulse

With this piece, Beyond Repair Dance succeeded in producing movement that is both robotic yet soft and elegant. The dancers were strong and clean while the choreography made clever use of the space between their bodies. Interesting patterns coupled with a high standard of technique from all five dancers made for an engaging performance.

Beyond Repair Dance added a fresh touch to the evenings with their execution of Cube with Magic Ribbons and the debut of their new work Temperate Pulse. The dancers were charismatic and accomplished.

Beyond Repair Dance – Cube with Magic Ribbons

The high standard of contemporary technique and choreography within this young company cannot be denied.

Cube with Magic Ribbons built gradual tension among the dancers and the audience – tension that was then broken by strong movement and interesting patterns. The dancers used the floor in such a way that they made it seem as though there were more than just three bodies moving on the stage. One criticism could be that the piece was a tad too long. However, the beauty of technique is very forgiving and having the audience enthralled, the length becomes irrelevant.
