Ping Pong Balls + Dance Make for an Arresting Performance
posted on July 27, 2011 by admin
"Why Patterns" mixes dance and ping pong balls to create an arresting performance art piece. Debuting in the US in Brooklyn next week, the performance is a collaboration between choreographer Jonah Bokaer and Snarkitecture.
In hues of black and white, "Why Patterns" combines motion and suspense as dancers interact with ping pong balls on the stage, and those that are projected onto the stage from the air and perimeters. Bouncing white orbs, the ping pong balls surround the dancers, become dynamic constellations around stiff human figures, vacillating the performance between moments of intense action and anticipatory stillness.
