Overworld Choreographed By Sarah Aiken and Rebecca Jensen Next Wave Festival The Substation, Newport Until May 11

A search for spirituality among the muck heap of digital media, Overworld is an ambitious new project by local dance-makers Sarah Aiken and Rebecca Jensen.

Drawing on ideas developed in their Deep Soulful Sweats yoga-dance workout sessions, Aiken and Jensen mangle together multiple movement styles and concepts.

The performance requires the audience to move about the cavernous Substation building.

At the first stop, we are looking down upon the dancers. Four young women lie in formation, dressed in filmy white costumes, their bodies creating a circle in a wide, colourful mandala constructed from clothing.
