Neel Verdoorn: “The dancers are driven to each other by the melancholy of Astor Piazzolla’s tango music. The mood of the music ranges from introvert to dynamic, with sharp shifts in tempo. The music is like perfume to the dancers – its scent enchants them.”
Why should we come? “It’s amazing, so many different flavours, colours and styles on one evening, with a record number of choreographies.”
Typical Verdoorn: “I hope that, in Embrace, the audience will recognise my language, dance style, intensity and attention for composition and form.”
