Footage taken from Blonde Ambition's 2011 Responsive Residency with Critical Path.
The trio explores the 'Blonde' movement vocabulary through the actions of walking and falling. The images of an upright and comprehensible female form collide violently with the inverted female form struggling on the ground like an insect that has lost it's footing.
The 'Blonde' form is strongly emphasised in the simple actions of walking and falling. Arms akimbo creating a thrust chest and a clearly defined 'personal space'; they strut, they teeter, they totter- the Blondes walk.
...a contemporary dance trio who aim to deconstruct and investigate the notion of a feminine ideal in their work.The 'Blondes' explore a physical vocabulary that references quotidian gesture, contemporary dance, burlesque and grotesque theatricality. They are heavily influenced by popular culture and lived experience as they conduct their anthropological investigation into gendered ways of 'being'.
