This Moment expresses the feeling of being completely present. When we are on stage, dancers are attuned to each moment - listening to our bodies, one another and the audience. The work is a celebration of that sense and of these beautiful dancers as they are now.

Fjord review

This new work by Yuiko Masukawa is quietly engrossing: a twilight world of bowed heads, stooped torsos and sudden releases into length, set to music by Caroline Shaw. With diaphanous grey costuming by Ailsa Woodyard, it has an original, searching temperament.
