Ben Wright - Thought latching to thought and pulling

Part of Dance Umbrella 2007. Thought latching to thought and pulling, a piece for four men, takes its title from a phrase coined by the poet Rimbaud to describe his writing method. Inspired by this statement, Wright's dancers manoeuvre through moments of quiet contemplation into explosive surges of physical dexterity, driven by a kinetic stream of ideas. Caught by stark columns of light designed by Guy Hoare, the piece is performed to a haunting musical score by Tim Sutton, recorded by the all-female ensemble, London Flutes. This piece was a commission for The Place Prize 2006.
