Three Theories - Quantum
Year of production
2011
Year of creation
2010
A balletic work that looks at the poetry underlying the pillars of 20th Century theoretical physics – Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics – and the upstart newcomer known as String Theory. It is evidence of the eclectic material that inspires Armitage. “There are forces that move us which we understand; others which we don’t. My dances are the combination of both. The ultimate purpose in bringing together such forces is to create beautiful and symbolically meaningful movement that quickens our sense of the world.”
