Counterpoint

The courtyard of Somerset House, in common with all grand historical buildings, has many stories to tell. Its symmetry and formal lines that have stood unchanged for centuries, the patterns of its fountains, and the vast and intense whiteness of the space that hits you as you walk in on a hot summer day - these are some of its stories. The dance in Counterpoint plays with these elements and is shaped by them. It also offers contrasting moments of intimacy and rapidly changing speeds, textures and dynamics.
