The two dancers mutate and intertwine via a series of angular sequences and hypnotic bursts of rhythm to ultimately merge, creating a deviceful new form, one freed from the constraints of dance style and genre. The progressively eloquent fluidity of their movement and the incisive timing between the duo was a real joy to watch, particularly in such an intimate performance setting.

It's incredibly refreshing to witness a cleverly devised, funny and surprisingly poignant piece that isn't afraid to poke fun at assumptions and stereotypes surrounding dance as a profession and the working relationships within it.

The dance portrays the company's European influences, which work together to create a palpable identity and intensiveness. The richness in the mix of dance, music and theatre creates hope for the future of dance in Leeds.

Two humans, one body. The two dancers entangled and linked with each other open a fantastical and wonderful hour with the international artists collective MotionManual and their performance production Body of Work at the Kleine Szene of the State Opera of Saxony. The evening, which is accompanied by several music styles, stays in mind as a sequence of calm images with a very intense after-effect.

For Leeds-based contemporary dance company MotionManual, unpredictability is vital to its dance vocabulary…the company's charged, intensely physical dance creates an atmosphere in which it's best to expect the unexpected.

Nobody was sure where we would be taken by the performers, but we sensed that something wonderful was about to happen.

Equipped with a great sense of rhythm and musical in, the artists create a unison of physicality and sound.
