REVIEW : Bounce-Insane in The Brain

January 25th, 2010  |  Published in Uncategorized

Hello All
On Tuesday 03/11/09 I went to see a Dance production at the Warwick Arts Centre. The production was called “Insane in the Brain”, the company who created the production are called Bounce which is a world renowned company based in Sweden. The story was a dance version on Ken Kesley’s Novel “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. The production was very good with very vibrant and exciting parts and some more dull and dark parts to the show, which made it even more interesting as you didn’t know what was going to happen next. My personal favourite part was about 1 hour and 15 minuets in to the show, where 3 of the dancers were suspended on ropes but the way they portrayed it made it look as if they were running on a flat surface and at the end of the path they were pulled back to the start, but imagine this in a vertical view so it looked like they were flying forwards and backwards. Although there were some amazing parts there were some not so good bits. One parts was when they were talking as it didn’t seem to link to the story and dragged on for too long, and another part was when a video of someone was being projected and 2 other dancers were trying to dance in sync with the projected image but they were out of time from my view.

Despite some bad parts to the show, overall it was good and I enjoyed the experience, and would recommend people to go and see any other Bounce productions.
