1,000 Pieces of π

Broken Rhythms Victoria Society—John Hirsch Mainstage

After loving all the dance shows that I saw last year, I was keen on seeing what the festival had to offer this year.

This show was a ton of fun! A truly neat concept of blending contemporary dance with math. Introduced to us as an experiment, tool, and a challenge, this show is a powerful demonstration of beautiful physicality, and the creativity of movement within seemingly strict parameters. The dancers were amazing, creating beautiful shapes, moments of perfect unison and captivating cannons. This show is comedic and endearing, and tells a story about moving through the challenges of imagining and exploring a concept to do something completely different and to see what it creates.
