Founded in the mid-1990s, the Australian company Chunky Move has made a mark on the choreographic landscape with its provocative, innovative style and intensely physical dance. Run by Antony Hamilton and Kristy Ayre since 2018, the company continues to create visually impactful pieces as much through the gestures as their stage designs. In 4/4, two quartets of performers move about a minimalist set of simple portable platforms in which quartets and duets unfold, creating a hypnotic and perfectly judged choreography. Antony Hamilton asserts an intense style that borrows from the urban vocabulary by bringing together dancers who have trained in krump, hip-hop, house and contemporary dance. Starting with mechanical gestures, the dancers are gradually transcended by the spirit of the dance.
