Anyone who dances - like Meg Stuart, who was born in the USA and has lived in Europe for over 30 years - accumulates an enormous reservoir of body memories in the course of an artistic life. Body memory is an essential starting point for “All the Way Around”, an intimate trio between dance improvisation and concert, which Meg Stuart creates with jazz bassist Doug Weiss and pianist Mariana Carvalho.
Together they are inspired by the ballad and break this musical form down into small but meaningful gestures as an expression of longing and defiance. They trace and unfurl spirals of memory, dive deep into what was and ride the waves between the almost-remembered and the unknown.
Rarely has a work provided such a fundamental insight into the movement thinking of the world-famous choreographer, who has created completely new aesthetics in contemporary dance since the 1990s.
