ABOUT
TRIPSICHORE:
Tripsichore
began in 1979 as a company devoted to creating full length dance narratives.
We explored a variety of stylistic forms including punk ballet, conventional
modern dance and strict neo-classical technique. We used masks, performed
with rock bands and did pop videos.
While yoga was always a part of our training, it wasn't until 1992 that
we realised the expressive potential and choreographic viability of
yoga postures. Once we began to devise works using yoga asanas, their
extraordinary artistic logic became evident. Surprisingly, it would
seem that there has been no orthodox tradition for using yoga technique
to create dances in the 5000 year history of the discipline. The postures
intrinsically possess a sumptuous beauty and fluidity. They are the
ideal vehicle to express the themes of harmony, balance, spirituality,
ecstasy, bliss and mysticism because they are exactly
about these subjects in and of themselves. We are now 14 years into
this experiment and each day brings new discoveries.
