“In the post of 2020, a period marked by isolation, loneliness and the loss of physical touch and connection, I felt it when you fell looks at systems and physical manifestations of care”

I felt it when you fell evokes care through contradictory gestures. Informed by a score written by Byng, the movement of the two dancers, Lilian Steiner and Rebecca Jensen are both tender and practical - they intertwine, caress one another and move in unison; their bodies acting as support braces through movements that are physically challenging or gravity-defying. This movement is accompanied by a discordant soundtrack by Rohan Rebeiro, produced through focussed contact with percussion instruments that fluctuates between appearing both careless and tender. This sound element is responsive to the actions of the other performers and highlights the complexity of giving and receiving care.
