Always sometimes
Cristina Caprioli

When dancing is really dancing, it flies right past you and lifts you off the floor
Sweeping around a corner, it will sweep you along, make you sharp as a wit, smooth as vanilla ice-cream

Look at Fred (Astaire), see how he hoovers over the floor, fast feet carried by intricate patterns, light limbs falling outside
Makes you want to get up and swag

Four single sequences are repeated over and again, as if time was a single flat line to ride.
Repetition is brought to its limit, for the sake of an immersion
Forwards and backwards in the same direction

The piece is a celebration of simplicity in a fancy dress
Still in owe for minimal structures and intricate patterns
Airborne, driven and calm
Plenty and over time

It is an open book, leafing itself into a loop
It has a name, but could easily do without it
Always the same, Sometimes not.
