The piece CHORD is about self-perception and relationships to other people. The paint that female dancers leave behind on themselves and others is symbolic for their different experiences and impressions. Their fingers and hands are used like the bristles of a brush, creating patterns of touch and motion on the skin. An interplay between dance, music and colour.
