Excerp From the FINACIAL TIMES - MAY 21, 2008 By Hilary Ostlere © Published: May 20 2008 22:21 | Last updated: May 20 2008 22:21 Looking For Water (left), first seen last year, has a gentle timelessness to its opening, where Jason Jeunette and Mark Wiener’s visual effects scroll across a black backdrop like puffs of exhaled smoke. Against it, three white-clad dancers sink and stretch as if dipping in water. They are joined by others, who move in unison, stretching and pacing slowly, long skirts swirling, to Damian Eckstein’s music, with sounds like distant train sirens punctuating a percussive beat. Kate Hirstein dances a solo prone on the floor, languidly moving her arms like wings. The tempo picks up and all seven dancers whirl about, flipping up their long skirts (the men wear them too), jumping and snatching up their feet as if dancing on something hot. There is no literal seeking of water in this abstract piece but there are aquatic images, such as everyone swaying back and forth like sea anemones.
