Strange Distributions is Chunky Move’s new major work by Artistic Director Antony Hamilton. A conceptual return to Hamilton’s internationally acclaimed MEETING (2015), Strange Distributions is a technical display of elemental simplicity.

Two quartets each perform a unique interpretation of the same choreographic score at a distance from one another. Four small staging decks, sometimes fixed and sometimes mobile, act as sites for the choreographies, locating action and dividing the two dances across the space; pushing and pulling the attention between duelling distance and closeness. This is complemented by sound design by Alisdair Macindoe (co-creator of MEETING) that uses both phasing and non-phasing metronome arrangements as a basis for composition, exploring a variety of sound possibilities that are sometimes in harmony and at other times in discord with the choreographies.
