Christos Papadopoulos . Dance On Ensemble

Dance While youth is often romanticised in dance, the Berlin Dance On Ensemble celebrates ageing. The excellent dancers in this company are all over forty years old and incorporate their physical knowledge and experience into their creations. For MELLOWING, they explore the intensity of the moment in collaboration with Greek choreographer Christos Papadopoulos. Like a swarm, the dancers move synchronised across the stage until minimal variations create a maelstrom of ever-increasing power.
