Tracker
Tracker was made from the inside out.
And Begin.
There is a space, a game and a seed of thought. There is a birth (of a sort) and from there, there is instinct, learning and development of skills. And because everything is new, there is insecurity, hesitancy and exploration. There are relationships (of a kind) and because there is intellect, learning is contagious and growth is inevitable. So now there is energy, exertion and imagination; subtlety, detail and texture. There is rushing, silence, rhythm and feeling. There is movement, movement, thought and more movement.
Choreographed by Abi Mortimer Dancers: Abi Mortimer, Chay Burrows, Carrie Whitaker, Joe Darby

Reviews for Tracker at Resolution! 2009:
"There was much impressive choreographic craft in Abi Mortimer's Tracker for Lila Dance. A trio of dancers were propelled by an inner dynamic that ebbed and flowed through changes of pace and personnel and never missed a beat."
- Keith Watson
"With coordinating costumes of cobalt blue, gold and wine, Lîla Dance's Tracker was a sumptuous feast for the eyes. Composed of two women and a man, the trio performed capoeira-like challenges in slow motion, rolling effortlessly from the floor as if gravity had dissolved into the smoke that flanked the stage. ... The concluding duet, framed by a square of bright light, roused the audience with its seamless yet shocking movement."
- Kat Richter
