There are influences that we carry in our bodies, in the way we move, that come from other people, places and events. This is true whether we are dancing, watching others perform or just being. In this new work, commissioned by DDF, choreographer Liz Roche creates a tapestry of movement meanings that reflect on the performers’ embodied connections between primary and secondary sources of inspiration. With a characteristically intimate yet agile movement palette, Roche and her dancers strive to bring these embodied connections, histories and perspectives to the fore.

Established in 1999, Rex Levitates has become one of the most highly regarded dance companies in Ireland. Liz Roche’s choreographies have been performed in Ireland and the UK, USA and Asia, most recently performing at the South Bank Centre London, Judson Memorial Church, New York and Baryshnikov Arts Centre, New York.

Choreography : Liz Roche

Commissioned by Dublin Dance Festival 2010. An early version of this work was created at Movement Research, New York, with the support of the Arts Council, Dance Ireland and Dublin City Council.
