Dance, Sculpture, Drawing and Sound
In Tandem
In Tandem
A new cross-artform performance that weaves together dance, sculpture, drawing and sound.
In Tandem
In Tandem is a rare event that blurs the lines between gallery and performance space. Meet the three collaborating artists, Choreographer Faye Tan, Sculptor and Artist Cecile Johnson Soliz and Composer Richard McReynolds at this first sharing of their new work ‘Infinity Duet’.
During the performance audiences will be invited to move around the space to experience ‘Infinity Duet’ from multiple perspectives and explore the layers of this new collaboration.
In addition you will be treated to vignettes featuring large-scale sculptures exclusive to this event, and at the end you’re welcome to stay and chat with the artists and dancers, to learn more about the process and get up close with the artwork.
Infinity Duet
“The sculpture can't help but yield to gravity, and neither can their bodies. Two people deal with time and weight in this brief reverie.”
Faye is a dancer and choreographer from Singapore and is currently a full-time dancer with National Dance Company Wales. Her choreographic practice is nourished by her extensive experiences of working with contemporary dance choreographers from all over the world and her explorations of different dance styles, cultures, methods and techniques. Her works often embrace the sometimes-overwhelming complexities of human emotion, and are often odes to human experiences of the sublime.
Frequently collaborating with musicians and visual artists, she has created works for various settings and contexts with NDCWales, VERVE (UK), Frontier Danceland (Singapore), the Centre for Advanced Training (UK) and School of The Arts Singapore.
Cecile Johnson Soliz is a second generation American of Bolivian heritage who grew up in California, Mexico, Bolivia, Brazil, Ghana and Italy before arriving to the U.K. to study fine art at Cardiff College of Art and Goldsmiths. Following 20 years in London, the Henry Moore Fellowship in Sculpture brought her to Cardiff in 1995 where she lives and works. Cecile has exhibited across 35 years in the U.K. and abroad in both solo and group exhibitions, winning the Gold Medal in Fine Art at the National Eisteddfod, Wales in 2017. She is currently collaborating with the National Dance Company of Wales.
