Knauer’s work, Derived, was danced by two women and two men to a score by Knauer’s father, Jürgen Knauer. It was a response to musical structure and showed off the dancerly skills of the artists of Sydney Dance Company, who often move with such fluidity that they seem to have no bones to get in the way of their movements. It was a pleasant piece and an easy-on-the-eyes opener, but slightly repetitious choreographically.
