The natural basic waltz step is a three-part clockwise movement. Originating in 16th-century peasant dances, it has evolved through countless forms. In Natural Basic, this cadence is a point of departure, a steady loop that drifts off-axis — its centre of gravity slipping.
Dancers converge through clouds of thought and matter. In dissonant polyphonytheir movements register change like barometers — sensitive to pressure and subtle shifts in metronome. Dinosaur-like, they attempt to carry the weight of deep time, caught between extinction and evolution, chewing up the future and spitting it back out again.
