Tanja Liedtke's construct

Construct was an incredibly dynamic, athletic and precise dance performance. It loosely followed a chronology of growing up and featured scenes of that in quick succession. What struck me was how precise the dancing and choreography was.

An early scene featured one dancer trying to prop up the other two who were stiff, tippy and jointed like mannequins. He eventually gets an electric drill and starts bolting and adjusting the limbs of the other two. The coordination of the movements were amazing. He would point at a knee and, without actually touching, the dancer's knee would turn and bend resulting in their whole body tumbling. This kind of finely tuned interaction continued throughout.

The overall style of almost mechanistic movement reminds me of Kidd Pivot and I very much like that.
