One Flat Thing, reproduced - William Forsythe (NDT 1 | A Forsythe Evening)

Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) | William Forsythe's piece 'One Flat Thing, reproduced’ for the NDT 1 programme ‘A Forsythe Evening’. www.ndt.nl/en/agenda/a-forsyt...
For all the hazardous torrent of dancers moving relentlessly around metal tables, One Flat Thing, reproduced (2000) is actually a purposeful chapter in Forsythe’s ongoing research into the distension of contrapuntal structure. The work is set up as a linked “machinery” that is created through the interaction of three systems of organization: numerous individual movement themes, a dense system of distributed cueing, and complex alignments of forms and/or movement flow. Although the dancer’s field of action is seriously delimited, the unforgiving maze of tables also offers the unusual possibility of composing interrelated action on three levels.
