The Shape of a Day
Music by Ratatat

From the Boston Globe

Kelley Donovan's compelling new 30-minute dance
"Inside of the Ending" is about letting go...
In celebration of the company's 10th anniversary,
Donovan invited current and former dancers with
her company to contribute works as well. Works by
Melissa Gendreau, Heather Bryce, and Contant
were engaging if not memorable, and all were given
energetic, committed performances. But the only
one that seemed fully formed was the appealing
"The Shape of a Day," a duet choreographed and
performed by Allison Vinal and Kelly Collins that
had a visceral rhythmic punch as it contrasted
crisp, sharp-angled slices of arms and legs with
controlled and deliberate shifts of weight.

Shape of a Day is a duet about moving through space,
connecting in the space and then dissolving the connection. This
work explores use of space and the spatial relationships of the
dancers. The music by Ratatat has a pulse that is the driving
force behind the movement. This is a pure movement work that
investigates different pathways and rhythms by manipulating one
long phrase.
