TACT

 TACT is a theatrical dance performance involving text, video projection and 

movement ranging from the energetic and resistant to the softer almost 
motionless sensitivity. Using Contact Improvisation, simultaneous 
description, stories, and textured layers of video and live music, this is a 
groundbreaking piece of work. Six dancers, three visually impaired and three 
sighted, with two live musicians, create a rich spectacle involving strong 
individual and personal moments along with a sense of group interaction that 
is intimate and persuasive. Touchdown strive to challenge the art form, 
Dance, to stretch your perceptions and held assumptions and to celebrate the creative potential of integrated practice.
