For less than one week, Michael Clark brought his troupe of lean and lithe dancers to perform a site-specific piece of dance in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern, London. Β Clad in array of black and white full-body unitards by Bodymap, the performers seemed to dance from the stripes on the op-art striped floor. Β An amazing set of performances changed in tone as the music ranged through a crescendo of strong, rock music from David Bowie’s ‘Sweet Thing’ to Kraftwerk’s ‘Hall of Mirrors’. Β Nothing can describe this piece of art where movement, lighting, sound and the space of the Turbine Hall were all so charged from 10.30pm till midnight. Β Here are some pictures which hopefully convey a sense of the magic.
We are big fans of Michael Clark at Your Studio and recommend that you all keep your eyes peeled for his next performances.
