Unwinding is like a jazz ensemble. The evening’s story unfolds and develops through the expertise of the performers and their relationship with each other, the music and the environment. An astute sense of timing is crucial.

This ensemble has worked together many times since the early nineties, and each member has an accumulation of melodies and memories to draw upon to help create the evening’s work. The music, the dance, the lighting – all are equal partners in this improvisation.

Peter Bingham and Chris Aiken have firmly established themselves as leading figures in the world of dance improvisation. Over the course of their careers, they have worked with many of the prominent figures in this field, including Steve Paxton, Nancy Stark Smith, Simone Forti and Andrew Harwood. They have both danced professionally for over twenty-five years, taking part in countless festivals and performances throughout the world.

Bingham and Aiken are true masters of the duet form, Contact Improvisation. In their past performances, they have delighted audiences with their effortless athleticism and sensitive dancing. Join Bingham and Aiken as they reunite to dance together once again. Two veteran performers, two great friends -- come and see their latest collaboration.
