Review: SYDNEY DANCE COMPANY: IMPERMANENCE at The Kennedy Center
A beautifully asynchronous and turbulent super-organism, Impermanence opened its weekend at the Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theater on April 16th. The show, originally rehearsed in 2020 and placed on coals due to the pandemic, featured dancers from Sydney Dance Company (Timmy Blankenship, Anika Boet, Dean Elliott, Riley Fitzgerald, Tayla Gartner, Liam Green, Luke Hayward, Morgan Hurrell, Ngaere Jenkins, Sophie Jones, Naiara de Matos, Connor McMahon, Ryan Pearson, Piran Scott, Emily Seymour, Coco Wood, Chloe Young) and a live, on stage four string quartet (Dale Barltrop, Frances Hiew, Christopher Cartlidge, Michael Dahlenburg). The choreographer, Rafael Bonachela, and the composer, Bryce Dessner were inspired by a myriad of global tragedies: the 2019 bushfires in Australia, the Notre Dame fire. As stated clearly in the title, the piece focuses on the ephemeral, and the uneternal, and in a "post-pandemic" world, these ideas and themes are fresh and easily accessible to the public.
