the order of things is a work for a large group of
dancers and two actors. It looks at communication and
the relationships we construct with text and image.
It is a conversation between two people and at the same
time, a dialogue between the dance and the sound. The
text becomes the music, working at times in unison,
at others in counterpoint. And the juxtaposition of
the everyday and the extraordinary. Exploring ideas
of Cunningham and Cage. There is beauty in ambiguity
and poetry in the real. Playing with words, telling
stories, both true and false, funny and sad, big and
little. And the evolution of the animal kingdom and
the death of a puppy
