Diavolo performs Trajectoire

Dancers, gymnasts, rock climbers, athletes, acrobats - the core company of Los Angeles-based Diavolo combines their abilities on massive and moveable set pieces to explore the tension between a structure and the human beings interacting with it.
For twenty years, Diavolo has invented movement dynamite between its dancers and giant sets of skate ramps, wheels, interlocking boxes and abstract sculptures. With explosive and unexpected flips, leaps, turns, partnering and tests of trust, the company pushes the limits of the ever-present question of when to hold on and when to let go.
Diavolo mixes ballet, hip hop, and contemporary styles with the danger of extreme sports. “The result is dazzling” (Newsday).

I saw Trajectoire performed last night in Dallas. Brilliant! Still trying to find out what music this is performed to.

HAHA!!!! Just saw your comment, Toby. My name is Nathan Wang and I wrote the music for Trajectoire. Very proud of that piece!!

@@unforgetableyou Love the dance and love the music! Can you tell me the name of your piece and where I can find it. Was it written for the dance or did Diavolo use your piece to fit the dance? Would love to know the backstory. Congratulations, you should be very proud!

@@debbiegrable2801 Thanks Debbie!!!! That piece was written over more than 20 years ago for the express purpose of that "Diavolo ship" for Artistic Director Jacques Heim's vision. We collaborated quite a bit on that piece to make it what it is. So glad you like it!!!
