With your forehead resting against the speaker or a gleaming headset on your ears? Nestled in a blanket or crunching the kilometres on your bike? Everyone has a favourite way to listen to music. But how does it work, exactly, sound versus body? Joined at the Hip challenges you to surrender completely to the listening experience. As three leading musicians play string trios by Mozart, Jadin and Beethoven, the dancer Mark Lorimer translates their melodies into movement. This is not decoration or illustration, but a visual guide that reveals musical structures and makes tension tangible. Successive scenes deepen the relationship between music and movement: from the building blocks of a fugue to the points of reference our brain uses to lend meaning to new music. Prepare for a concert experience in which you listen with your body and enjoy with all your senses!
