“Bintley works in collaboration with Australian composer Mathew Hudson (his second commission with Bintley) and with designers Peter Mumford and Becs Andrews to create an overall ambiance. With the help of Andrews’ costume designs, which colourfully suggest the different sports without directly copying their wear, the opening sections of the dance are a light, extrovert and brave panoply of approximately recognisable disciplines moving in duet, trio, quartet and quintet groupings: fencers; ball players; swimmers and divers; gymnasts and runners” Jenny March
