BLOCKING
By Helen Walkley
A Firehall Arts Centre presentation
A recent hit performance from Dancing on the Edge Festival, blocking, is choreographed by Helen Walkley and danced by creative collaborator Josh Martin with serendipity, rigor, and ingenuity. Martin performs this solo work with 250 small cedar blocks. Moments emerge and transform: whimsical, primal, risky, futile and tender. Balance is fragile, tested, and there are no mistakes. Helen Walkley’s choreography reveals the body, breath and stillness.
