‘Waiting Game’ is the debut duet between choreographer/dancer Phaedra Brown and dancer Tamara Bouman supported by and presented in March Dance Festival 2022. The work features music and soundscape by composer Oscar Sweeney. A new contemporary dance duet that embraces humour, tragedy and human connection in a world that seems so illogical.

This piece is based around the tradition of the Tibetan buddhist’s sand mandala- mandalas painstakingly crafted over weeks out of coloured sand by a dedicated team of monks, only to be ritualistically wiped away and destroyed shortly after its completion. Philosophically the mandala represents the life’s ephemerality, and how destruction is a necessary force in the balance of the universe.

Sand Mandala

Aguardiente at Sunrise is based on the exploration of Latin rhythms and timbres, set to the backdrop of field recordings of my 2019 trip to Colombia.  This work juxtaposes the traditional instrumentation of Latin and Pre-Columbian music with modern electronic sounds, while the rhythmic elements are primarily lifted from salsa and cumbia music. This piece juxtaposes these traditional dance elements by placing them in a slower, ambient environment where the transformation of tone colour and the interplay between the rhythmic elements become the primary focus of the listener.
