Devised through passion for dance, and the body as a work of art in itself, ‘Blind Passion' - Live Cut evolved into an explosion of seductive delights. 

"Blind passion - Live Cut" is a fusion of Contemporary Dance, Tango and Contact.  Part One of a Trilogy that describes passion (see the whats cooking page).  This work demonstrates the beautiful side of the definition of "Passion".  "Passion cannot be described, only experienced" - Jenni Wren. 

With the use of blindfolds, the dancers show great trust and honesty towards each other to tell their tale. Through intricate contact work sprinkled with Tango influences, the dancers and choreography move smoothly, each section subtly becoming more revealing and dynamic, challenging the audience with intrigue and question.

(Watch the video version, Phase 1, "Blind Passion - Raw Cut" on our NEW Video Snippets page.)

‘Blind Passion- Raw Cut' was a dance for film, completed in September 2008.  The "Raw Cut" has been screened successfully in the Yorkshire area at SEVEN, Yorkshire Dance, Fabric, Hatch at Bradford Playhouse, DANCEFILM Scotland 09 and at the Hyde Park Picture House as part of Leeds Erotica festival.  You can now watch it for yourself on our own video snippets page, as a preview to the Live Work.   Phase 2 involved a research and development period undertaken in Buenos Aires where we searched for the true passion behind the Argentine Tango.  This journey greatly informed the completion of the Live work, in a variety of ways providing further knowledge, tools and concepts to explore and work with.  Phase 3 took us back into the studios injecting the influences of phase 1 and 2 to develop new concepts and movement into the production of a duet for the stage.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported the project to date and acknowledge the Dancers and our Teachers (Cecilia Gonzalez and Gustavo Diaz) of the Carlos Copello School Argentina, the amazing editing talents of Little Northern Light, the newly found partnership of Seven Art Space and everyone in between.  This is proving to be an amazing yet unpredictable journey, surprises around every corner and eccentricities at every bend.  We truly look forward to injecting these obscurities into a work that will seduce, question, shock and caress its audience into a divine submission of the senses.  I hope you will join us at the end of the journey to share this experience of "Blind Passion".
