“Knote Dance” from Lloyd Newson’s STRANGE FISH (1992), performed by DV8 Physical Theatre, directed by David Hinton. Financial Times: “The playing of the ensemble, the brilliant conflict and complementing of personalities; the shared sense of risk and trust, the acuteness of timing and physical response s matched by an emotional awareness that is dazzlingly communicative”.
defying gravity…

2:00-2:15, she tries to get away..
How lovely!
How lovely!
where Laura Potter slides down the wall is just brilliant.
In the modern dancing class we got showed this and wow, everybody thought it sensational.
Thanks for the inspiration, iim going to try the wall sliding move next lesson. I’ve also wondered what music this was. Maybe some Batehoven composion, im not sure but would really like it if somebody could tell me what tune it is..
Thank you so much DV8 – My insperation !! LYL XXX
this video is so moveing. i love physical theatre and im learning about it at school, im in year 10 and im loveing my dance GCSE im doing about lloyd newsone and DV8. i would love to see a portion of their work live!! absolutley stunning xxx
beautiful
this film made me like contemporary dance a lot when I was in school.
well done
this pomo piece is the best i have seen… i’m writing an annalytical essay on it for my senior dance class. this scene is by far my favourite.
absolutely breathtaking and heartbraking…
The choreographer calls this the ‘knot’ dance. Before it happens, the two girls here were in a club. The girl dancing picked the guy up there, while the girl watching tried and failed to do the same. The dance/lighting represents the building of an intimate, exclusive relationship. The onlooker is jealous and feels inadequate. She is actually the main character in the production, although they all do an amazing job. The DVD is a few hundred $ in Aust.. don’t know where else it’s available.?
It wouldnt stink, really, for you to analyse. The movements are quite obvious and easy to interpret, especially in this segment. It’s pretty hard to miss.
I also saw this video in my class of modern dance. I saw the part after this and I can say that the woman dancing is not the woman that is watching. This group of dancers are very very good !
sorry by my grammar, i´m still studying english
i saw this video recently at school class, we were supposed to analyze it and i had believe the woman’s watching is the same woman who’s dancing. maybe i’m wrong, but the teacher couldn´t answer me…does everyone know??
I think that wa a perfect expample of how a story can be told with the body language
you stink
Straight through my heart…
DV8 have really been pushing themselves- saw To Be Straight With You not long back- and it’s incredible their talents and drive. It just grabs you Xxx
Amazing film, amazing production, amazing company. If you ever get a chance to see them live grab it.
