Van Dijk’s and Nyen’s exploration of clouds, stability and transience is perhaps most tangible in a brief scene during which a dancer perches himself atop a framed pane of glass and appears to be levitating. Meanwhile, centre stage, two females perform athletic phrases of movement in unison. The choreography could be described as typical of van Dijk’s artistic practice. In contrast to the illusion of weightlessness beside them, one of each dancer’s feet is always firmly planted on the floor. They use gravity as a productive force, rather than fight against it (as ballet dancers would) to achieve an appearance of lightness.
