Presented in M1 CONTACT 2017, as first part of Borderline, this work by McCormack, is inspired by the complexities of visual artist, David Altmejd. McCormack sculpts a multi-sensory vortex on stage with his highly theatrical and demanding choreography, set upon the intuitive bodies of the T.H.E dancers. Area2 divides space, creating an amplified zone that puts into question and conflict, ideas of territory and dimension. In this choreography, the performer is constantly found in a place of odds and is presented as an inhabitant rather than a lyrical mover, attempting acts of dominance over benign objects and the spaces that these objects might occupy.
