Two

"It's down to choreographer Katie Green to show how much can be achieved with an idea and a few basic phrases. Daniela Larsen and Leon Smith spin and fold over each other, fluidly but with increasing ferocity. She pitches floorwards but is yanked back onto his shoulder, only to slip beneath his arm and spiral away. The couple flip restlessly between intimacy, reliance and contempt. Remarkably, their convoluted physical and emotional entanglements seem an entirely unforced consequence of the simple opening image, where they lean stiffly against each other in a combination of opposing weight and physical support. A meaningful, moving performance."
Sanjoy Roy

"green bean dance made a remarkable Resolution! debut with Two - a relentless and compelling piece. An ominous soundtrack reverberates as the duo conduct a furious physical argument: they lift, grasp, push and roll in and out of the well-crafted half-lighting. Time and again the battle of attraction and repulsion produces moments of victory. As one dancer lies prone, hounded and hunted, the gasps and grunts of the violent interchange become uncomfortably audible and the soundtrack fades."
"the accomplished performance and feverish energy of this tumultuous work left the audience breathless."
Amy Johnson


Choreography: Katie Green in collaboration with the dancers
