 ROLLERCOASTER is no ordinary dance performance, but an exciting high-speed choreographic rollercoaster
First of all, it was my first time to see Ed Webber's works. I still remembered that dancers used lots of gestures and try to imitate habits of birds on  Raven's Home. In this work, the imagination was very clear on the stage. For instance, body languages, gestures, costumes and so on. I thought costumes assisted audience and dancers to get into the atmosphere of the work. But the most essential thing was that how these dancers interpretation of these feelings to the audience.

 I was spending most of times to look at light setting on every pieces of scapino ballet. Most of choreographers didn't use too much complicate lights on these pieces. But their choreography could attack audience eyes all the times.
I had a feeling like each of choreographers were unique and incrediable .They knew how to represent their styles on each pieces.
On my own views, choreographers were good at  using bunch of  powerful musics and light setting on each pieces,  therefore you would never fall asleep or get bored during the performance.
Through their works, I could obvious seeing what they want to express their ideas to the audience.

Meanwhile, one of my favorite piece was duet piece. Both of them were emphasised on eyes contact and rhyme of each other, which was a beautiful sensation of movement  to see it on stage.

I personally believe that Scapino ballet was one of powerful contemporary dance company in the Netherlands.
Most of dancers had very strong personality and physicality at the same time. If you go to see rollercoaster or other works from Scapino Ballet ,  I am sure you will have an unforgettable experience with Scapino ballet. Therefore, I would like to suggest you don't hesitate to watch them and enjoy!
