TREAD
TREAD
TREAD is an energetic and vigorous 30-minute contemporary dance production for outdoor and alternative performance spaces that uses the richness of repetition on a running machine in order to stimulate thinking around our perceptions of the Black performing body.
This entrancing and hypnotic work has a cast of 6 dancers of African/Caribbean descent who amble, trip, dive, sprint, and tread their way through the patterns of their revolving world, creating a strikingly athletic yet compelling discussion surrounding the Black experience.
“I found myself hooked by Walker Movement Company's TREAD [...] It had an intriguing suspended-in-time feeling.”
David Mead, Dancing Times
