"Resolution Festival Review: A Triple Bill that Explores the Gray Areas of Human Experience"
Seirian Griffiths' solo piece Interchange is a poignant exploration of the complexities of human relationships, particularly in the afterlife. The work follows Michael as he navigates his past loves and unfinished business, with Seirian's choreography evoking a sense of catharsis. Despite some elements feeling like unfinished business themselves, Interchange is a powerful and thought-provoking piece that masterfully balances emotional depth with technical skill.
Qi Song's Archive/Flesh/Echoes offers a stark contrast to the introspective nature of Interchange, instead embracing the frenetic energy of a rave. The dancers move with a focus that borders on obsession, their bodies pressed together in a shared pursuit of the music. While the piece doesn't quite reach the same level of transcendence as some of Song's other work, it captures the raw intensity of a late-night dance session.
Isadora D'Héloïsa brings the most innovative approach to her piece Entrecuerpos, blending flamenco and voguing styles in a way that feels both familiar and unexpected. The fusion of these two seemingly disparate dance forms results in a unique aesthetic that's equal parts striking and sometimes jarring. While the overall effect may not be as cohesive as some of D'Héloïsa's previous work, her performance showcases a remarkable ability to find common ground between different styles.
Throughout the triple bill, the dancers are united by their willingness to explore the gray areas of human experience. Whether it's Interchange's thoughtful examination of grief or Entrecuerpos' innovative fusion of styles, each piece offers a powerful and thought-provoking commentary on what it means to be alive. The Resolution Festival is a testament to the beauty of dance as a medium for storytelling, and these three pieces are a must-see for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human experience.

it felt like they were gonna jump off stage at any minute 
. But you're right, it did bring a different energy to the whole festival. And Isadora D'Héloïsa's fusion of styles was SO interesting... I loved how she played with those traditional flamenco moves and made them feel fresh again 
. Seirian Griffiths' piece was so hauntingly beautiful though... I felt like I was right there with Michael, navigating all his emotions 
. Overall, the festival had a great mix of stuff - not every piece was a hit, but they all contributed to this really interesting conversation about what it means to be human 
just saw this review and I gotta say its so cool how Seirian Griffiths explored those deep emotional connections in Interchange 
it's like the dancers are navigating their own personal afterlife and its really thought-provoking 
Qi Song's vibe in Archive/Flesh/Echoes is wild though, like whoa those dancers are moving on a whole different level 
Back in my day, we didn't have all these fancy festivals and whatnot. But seriously, this triple bill is off the chain! Seirian Griffiths' piece Interchange had me right there with Michael's emotional journey... it's like he was speaking straight to my soul 
. Qi Song's Archive/Flesh/Echoes, on the other hand, was like a shot of adrenaline straight into my veins 
.
I love how it captures the energy of a rave, but at the same time I'm not sure if I'd want to be in that kind of situation in real life 
Isadora D'Héloïsa's piece was definitely unique though, I mean who combines flamenco and voguing? 
I loved how all three pieces came together and told different stories about human experience, it really made me think about my own relationships and stuff.
. And Qi Song's piece? Whoa, that energy was infectious! I loved how each performance was like a little piece of art that stood on its own, but also fit into this larger tapestry of exploring the gray areas of human experience 
. And Isadora D'Héloïsa's fusion of styles? Mind blown 
.
! But, for real, Isadora D'Héloïsa's Entrecuerpos was a game-changer 
. Anyway, if you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and get ready to have your mind blown 
I'm so late to this thread, but I just finished watching all 3 pieces at the festival and oh man, Seirian's choreography really blew me away! 
The way Qi Song incorporated light into her piece was insane 
and Isadora D'Héloïsa's fusion of flamenco and voguing was like nothing I've ever seen before 
. I love how the dancers aren't afraid to take risks and push boundaries with their performances. 
. It made me think about how we're all trying to figure things out as we go along, and dance is such a powerful way to express those feelings 
. Reminds me of old-school rave parties back in '02 
, but Seirian's Interchange is more like that emotional rollercoaster ride from That Big Twilight Sparkle Movie 
. And Isadora's Entrecuerpos? It's like she took all the weird and wonderful bits of my teenage self and mashed 'em into this beautiful, messy thing 
.
it's not always easy to watch a piece about heartbreak, but Griffiths did an amazing job of capturing the pain and longing that comes with it 
. And I loved how Qi Song's Archive/Flesh/Echoes contrasted with Interchange - it was like watching two different emotions collide 
. The way Seirian's Interchange dances through grief and loss feels so raw and honest – I can already imagine how my own kiddo would relate to it when they're feeling overwhelmed 
. And Qi Song's Archive... well, it was like watching a wild child on stage – totally chaotic but somehow mesmerizing 
. But what really caught my eye was Qi Song's Archive - it's like she took a rave and bottled up all that energy into these incredible dancers 
i mean who wouldn't want to watch these dancers push the boundaries of human expression? seirian's choreography is literally poetry in motion 
meanwhile isadora's blend of flamenco and voguing is like, totally mind-blowing 
!
and qi song's piece was so energetic i wanted to get up and dance right along with the dancers
