Featured in the 2011 Edinburgh Festival as part of the British Council Edinburgh Showcase
Formed in 2001, Tom Dale Company (TDC) has established itself as belonging to the new wave of artists testing the boundaries of contemporary dance practice. The work of TDC crafts new dance forms, which exist between raw, aggressive and visceral movements and complex, refined precision, creating a unique and unpredictable style.
I Infinite is a new solo designed for galleries or ‘white box’ spaces. Part abstract dance, part live art and part video installation (the latter being the only light source used), it explores “the boundaries between the artificial and the real, the digital and the organic.” Free to roam around the “immersive”, digitally-animated environment as they please, audience members remain in close proximity to the dancer and are able to see refined movements – veering between robotic isolation and liquid fluidity – that are often missed in more traditional theatre spaces.
“Tom Dale’s intensely beguiling work sucks the breath right out of you and glues you to your seat with its flawless technical display and continuously inventive choreography.”
