Duo (S02E02)

On film and on stage, the duet is an open invitation, an opportunity for a dance, whether through a stirring expression, an outstretched hand, an arm around a waist, or an idolized body. A key feature of classical ballet and ballroom dancing, the duet still constitutes the very basis of choreographic work for all dancers. Whereas the solo is an act of resistance, enquiry or self-questioning, the duet forms the core of dance structure, the foundation of a critical dialogue, and the key to discovering each dancer’s gestures.
