The Way You Sound Tonight

By Arno Schuitemaker

In a temporary experience of the eternal, five dancers give life to one-hour cycles of pulsating movements.
All flowing and steaming is The Way You Sound Tonight boundless in energy.

With the audience on either side of the stage, completely surrounded by the music sounding from all sides, the dancers continue uninterrupted in the ever unfolding of space, distance and proximity, day and night, breath and heartbeat. The present has never been so palpable.

The composition of the dancers varies in each cycle. The dancer who finishes the first cycle starts the second and the next audience group enters. Each time, an intense synergy ignites that transcends just about everything. This exhilarating universe shimmers and delights.

The Way You Sound Tonight received the Swan for most impressive dance production from the VSCD in October 2019.
