VIDF - Floating Seed







Andrea Legg and Gabrielle Martin present a beautiful aerial performance of contemporary dance at the Vancouver International Dance Festival. Two individuals suspend in midair following each other up and down. They move slowly accompanied by the haunting music of drums and what sounded like bagpipes. The standing room crowd watched as the floating seed blossomed helping, nurturing and chasing each other in the wind. I saw a circle of dance in air as one reach out to the other much like a floating seed finding a place to plant itself, to belong and to grow.
