Holding Ground brings together two dynamic works in sharp contrast – one grounded in place, the other in technology. A duet by Moss Te Ururangi Patterson, the titular work unfolds within a confined space, where two dancers engage in a shifting exchange of tension and release. With an original score by Shayne P Carter and James Webster, the work draws on deep currents of gravity and wairua. Entering a state of hypofrontality, the dancers move instinctively – calm in the storm, present, and guided by something older than thought.
In Intentional Particle, Japanese artist Hiroaki Umeda constructs a sensory terrain of light, sound, and movement. The body dissolves into data – a pulse of vibration and force. What emerges is both meticulous and explosive. Together, these works form a vivid counterpoint, inviting us to sit in the tension between motion and stillness, and find balance within it.
