Gemma Evans, Louisa Keohane and Ira
Siobhan introduce HOST, a piece based on the 'Icon of
the Trinity' painting by Andrei Rublev. HOST has been
created specifically for ROOTS 2005 by renowned choreographer
Andile Sotiya of Dance Nomad. The piece is Andile Sotiya's
own interpretation of the painting and it invites you
to watch some high energy movement that will allow you
to envision movement of the three-in-one.
The title comes from the choreographers view of the
angel in the Rublev painting. An angel is part of the
'heavenly host.' Another meaning of host is 'the entertaining
of guests' and the door of the hosts home is always
open. The Trinity is an ever-welcoming host to us, God's
children. |
