NINCOMPOOP
DANCE PERFORMANCE
The performance explores the physical expression of foolishness, the core elements of failure, and different aspects of human nature, all seen through a lens of triviality. The performers participate in mockery, acting, and exaggerated, cartoon-like, and naïve behaviors. The choreography’s principles enable them to use their bodies in a highly amplified and overstated manner, reminiscent of Monty Python’s "Ministry of Silly Walks." The enigmatic and dreamy musical landscape enhances the lighthearted physical narrative throughout the performance. This conceptual dance piece, with its engaging subject matter, aims to be mentally and kinetically lighthearted, humorous, entertaining, and amusing for an adult audience.
"Your ability to realise an exciting public outcome, take real risks and transcend formal barriers resulted in an outstanding original work. The work evidenced successful collaboration with a lighting design that was both well-considered and powerful and an epic experimental live sound score. The performance was an excellent contribution to professional practice, recognisably innovative, creative and of superb quality. A rigorous choreographic process resulted in exceptional performances from all performers.” by Charles Linehan
