Rogue is a bunch of dance renegades who've recently stampeded, possibly Fame! style, beyond the mirrored walls of the VCA. The Counting/Ocular Proof, part of Next Wave's 'Things that Dance' program, is a double bill by young, tough and talented dancers that sets out to explore and exploit the body's senses.
Rogue is joined by the equally roguish Antony Hamilton (just off the back of Blazeblue Oneline), who has choreographed The Counting. This work relentlessly pursues the body's inherent rhythms, timing, driving beats and dynamic tensions. It's like experiencing a Magic Eye diagram in moving bodies and sound: you get it, you lose it, you get it again - it derides your meager perceptions.
Ocular Proof, choreographed by Rogue themselves, investigates the notion that the five senses, in particular the eyes, create the supposed truth of everyday life. (NB: Who says you can't hold the moon in your hand?)
