Canvas 5 x 5 - Mocean Dance

Canvas 5 x 5
Commissioned and premiered by Mocean Dance, 2012
Choreography by Tedd Robinson
4 dancers, 1 bagpiper, 30 minutes
In a timeless world of grace and wonder, Canvas 5 x 5 is a masterful
intertwining of the familiar with the excitingly new. Combining a
traditional maritime soundscape with striking contemporary imagery
the dancers manipulate over-sized canvas into whimsical and
profound designs. The juxtaposition of the calming Celtic rhythm
and the contagious kinetic movements is interplayed with Robinson’s
acclaimed signature use of elegance and beauty.
“ a deliciously joyous creation”
Andrea Nemetz – The Chronicle Herald, January 2012
“ Canvas 5 x 5 is explosive and fun, Mocean’s dancing
is unabashedly passionate, joyful and raw
