Suspended from ropes, 4 dancers appear gravityless and free from their surroundings. The lighting creates a distinct visual illusion, separating the dancers from the floor.
A live jazz based improvisation by 5 musicians, carries the audience and the dancers along, only allowing them to rest when the music itself comes to a halt.
"Outer Half" is gentle and elegant.
Supported by: the participants, Steve Turner and the Vintage Theatre, "Das Haus" Carpentry, Karola Luttringhaus, Robert Andrew Turner and Mojo Musical Supply. ***
