Igor and Moreno are two London-based dance artists, passionate about the moving body and the immediacy of action as a vehicle for meaning, ideas and desires. This is how they were described within the Pulse 2015 Guide. Curious, and with an appetite to try out something new I arrived at a packed Jerwood DanceHouse.

Okay, so it is fair to say that I was a little underwhelmed at the start. A clean white backdrop, with layered white curtains semi-covering the back and mid-point of the dance area. The two performers emerge, dressed in jeans, track suit tops and trainers. Is this relevant, you ask? Wait, I’ll explain shortly.

After a silent few moments of the duo looking at the audience they start to sing. Quite nice, I think. And then they repeat the song, again and again again and again. With each repetition the singing gets stronger and more rhythmic, and a number of members of the audience are now finger tapping on their knees….

Several more repetitions and I am ready for something new (please!). This comes as the singing stops and the small bounce starts. Ball of foot to heel, and again, and again, and again. Layers of clothing are removed (whilst still bouncing), and the dancers undress to their shorts and T-shirt.

The audience are focused on the performance as the duo bounce in synchronised movements, in a way that draws your eye. You can’t help to be fascinated by the duo and their constant small bounce movements across the sprung floor for almost the entire performance. There is a constant rhythm, one that reminded me of the steadiness of the second hand ticking away in an old grandfather clock.

Repetition in sound is parallel to synchronicity in this performance. Having started with the repetitive nature of the songs that opened the performance, the silence that followed was broken by the up-down bounce sound made in unison by the duo (interjects by the odd squeak from the wooden floor); the audience is then almost deafened by the extraordinary and unnecessary loudness of the tinned base that echoed wildly from the speakers that surrounded the dance studio. For me, not pleasant, sorry to say, and a distraction from the performance.

Humour was combined with passion in this performance, a drink shared with the audience, and a hug between the two dancers as the performance reached an end.

It can sometimes by difficult to say what you enjoyed about a performance. For me, it was a journey of discovery into experiencing something new. Life is about this, and whilst it may not be a performance to suit everyone it certainly has added to the richness of my experiences as a dance and theatre lover.
