Cultural Writing. Dance. Music. Multimedia. DtArNaCcEe is a field recording of the sounds of the dancers and dance classes performing on location at Dance City, the national dance agency for the North East of England. Most popular styles of the day are represented: from classical ballet and contemporary dance, to the native international traditions--Irish, salsa, flamenco, break dance and even pilates. The sounds were (re)composed into DmAuNsCiEc by Andrew Hodson. "The contact between feet and the floor is the moment of the dance, the constant relationship of gravity, body and earth. The sound of soles and toes beating against or brushing the floor is something that the audience usually only experience as an undertone, concealed by the regular beat of music, as their attention is taken up by the spectacle.. DtArNaCcEe is the sound of the dance: then the wheel turns and the recordings are (re)composed into music and returned to the dancers"--Alec Finlay.
