Tom Dale Company Presents
I Infinite

Co-produced by Dance4

Set in a white, digitally animated environment, I infinite is a mesmerising multi-media dance installation. The spellbinding visual imagery and effects draw you within centimetres of our performer who moves between robotic isolation and liquid fluidity. Existing between the digital and organic worlds our character embarks on a captivating journey to the infinite.

I infinite is an immersive experience made for galleries and white box spaces. Free to roam, audiences witness the performance close up glimpsing refined movements often missed in more traditional theatre spaces.

A collaboration between choreographer Tom Dale, digital artist Barret Hodgson and dancer Maria Olga Palliani.

PRESS

“This relationship between the performer and the projected environment is immaculate and by allowing the audience to wander, each individual is free to choose their own viewpoint and take what they want from this enchanting piece.” **** http://www.whatsonstage.com/reviews/theatre/edinburgh/E8831314179611/I+Infinite.html

“Palliani moves with such accuracy, her body soars through the space in perfectly linear pathways and she rolls across the floor weightlessly. Tom Dale, the choreographer, has created a dance work that encourages exploration of the dancer and makes the audience believe that there are infinite possibilities of where and how Palliani can move.” **** http://www.broadwaybaby.com/edinburgh-fringe/9590-i-infinite

“I infinite is an exquisite gem of a dance piece, combining elements of dance, theatre and installation. A totally immersive experience that you step into and leave yourself behind.” **** Highly Recommended Show http://www.fringereview.co.uk/fringeReview/4456.html
