RISE (2021)
Powerful, physical, unapologetic and uplifting dance, TRIBE//’s new outdoor work for four exceptional female dancers simmers with tension and emotional force. Defiantly performed with a gutsy power, the dancers draw the audience in to a fearless kinetic world of collective unity and hope, driven by a soundtrack of restless beats.
Falling down, gathering up….together….RISE.
“A transfixing piece….dance at its most corporeal, an all-female quartet using intense physicality to garner an emotion from the sun-laden crowd”
Saturday Highlight Latitude Festival 2021
RISE was Co commissioned by HatFair and Watermans Theatre London, supported by Surf the wave Legacy fund.
No Sudden Moves //
Stuck in a series of events that loop a world of tension and unease, choreographer Victoria Fox takes the audience into a world, where personal decisions shift and alter the consequences of actions, scenes repeat with alternate endings where groups split, spy and interrogate each other. The music creates an atmospheric drive reminiscent of scandi-noir TV and dystopian film where the cast become powerfully charged as company through Fox’s visceral and punchy movement language to re-build future that is not based on fear.
Still I Rise 2018-2020
Full bodied urgency meets with a sense of fragility to create a world that simmers with tension and unrest. Driven by pounding beats and stirring classical arias, these five powerful women find freedom in constraint and, in falling down, rise again.
Virtuosic yet vulnerable, this all-female work is an empowering call to arms driven by the relentless resilience of the human spirit.
“Tender, sensuous and exquisite” Anna Mortimer
“A contemporary dance company that packs some punch” Culturised.com
“visceral, persistent and driven by a physicality that seeks to both free and empower” Rachel Elderkin
No Sudden Moves zeros in on our need to rebuild and reconnect amidst chaos and distraction. Reacting to turbulent times and danced with a daring full-bodied and gutsy power, Fox’s diverse cast of four dancers articulate her emotive dance language with tenderness, held aloft by a rich electronic cinematic soundscape peeling back the layers to refind each other thrown together to restore and regenerate
