TREMOR - Ashley Dyer, Multi-Artform Practitioner, Exhibits at the Art House

Sound creates movement - movement creates sound
When the resonant frequency is reached - it sings in sympathy.When the amplitude is too great - it breaks.

Created by Ashley Dyer, Tremor is a multi-artform performance that examines the movement associated with vibration and the relationship between a build up of pressure on the body and the planet.

With a large team of collaborators, Dyer has invented and constructed a custom-built 8m x 8m vibrating floor comprising 13 shake tables and over 230 metal poles.
When the shake tables are charged with audible and sub-sonic sound they vibrate the metal poles making them move in simple choreographed patterns and they also resonate additional sound for Nigel Brown's sound score.
Immersed within a grassland of metal poles, three female dancers (Kristy Ayre, Nat Cursio and Jo White) move in mesmeric but simple ways to create a performance that complements the motion and sound of the kinetic sculpture/musical instrument.
The third work in a series of dance-portraits, Tremor is a unique and idiosyncratic venture into the natural, the constructed, the individual and the environment - it is heard and felt through the whole body.
Dyer has a reputation for challenging, confronting and poetically intriguing works that merge the unexpected with unexpected beauty, including Life Support (2013), Nothing to See Here (2014), The Chat (2015) and SK!N (2016).
