‘Beneath Sky Snakes’ documents an interplay and danced response to the dynamic and highly choreographic organisation of artist Len Lye’s kinetic sculpture ‘Sky Snakes (1965/2019)’. The multi-spiral action is articulated and reconfigured within the dancing body suggesting a physical conversation between human and other, in an environment echoing the elemental, archaic and mythological separation of earth and sky, Gaia and Uranus, Ranginui and Papatūānuku.
Described by Tempo Dance Festival as a ‘re-inscription of himself into his birth lands through a dynamic relationship between land, sea, and the sculptures of Len Lye.’
