Dimension 42 Part of DUSC

Riach, Sarah and Emms, Rachel (2014) Dimension 42 Part of DUSC. [Performance] (Unpublished)

Item Type: Performance

Abstract

Dimension 42 is a contemporary dance work that draws on the mysteries of the cosmos, weaving together the imagery of star signs, planetary orbits, and rare celestial alignments. The choreography imagines the dancers as celestial bodies moving in intricate trajectories — circling, converging, and realigning in endless cycles of attraction and release. Pathways echo orbital patterns, while ensemble structures mirror constellations forming and dissolving across the stage. Balancing the mythic symbolism of the zodiac with the scientific precision of planetary motion, Dimension 42 explores the tension between destiny and randomness, individuality and interconnectedness. The work invites audiences to enter a space where cosmic architecture becomes human gesture, and where the universe itself is revealed as a vast, ongoing choreography.
