This is the moment when we know we are alive.  The unexpected impact leaves its mark upon us.  An indent.   The shape of the person we have lost, on our skin, in our breath.   Everything takes on a striking clarity now… the light has become sharp and the air presses in, to remind us.

Acclaimed dance ensemble Errol White Company present this compelling new work of evocative sound and movement.  IAM delves into the event that changes everything, a moment in time that has such power and momentum it affects your past and future with an intensity that has no limits.  Exploring the effects this provokes in the people that are closest, the witnesses.  Devised from a personal place, IAM celebrates the marks we leave on each other as we pass through life.

With speed and eloquence, seven dancers push against tactile lighting by Gerald Tyler and the dynamic soundscapes of Tiago Cerquiera. Their pathways, activating and revealing moments from their own personal histories, allow each to discover the nature of one another.   Costumes deliberately crease, showing the traces of these interactions, dance technique is taken to the limits and almost collapses on stage.

Intimate duets unfold as people weave through each other probing for surfaces and space:  taking the audience on a journey through a world of fractured timelines charged with the power and fragility of the body.

Power and pressure resist decline and decay, and from a moment of falling a new momentum is forged, where each discovers who they are.

IAM is supported by Creative Scotland, Dancebase, The Work Room and Citymoves Dance Agency.  Special thanks to Scottish Ballet.
