Were the giant black see-saws positioned strategically on the stage intended to represent a shifting balance in the relationships played out, or were they just a fun obstacle for the dancers to play on?

I wasn't really sure. Nor was I quite sure what the meaning of Man And Woman was, if indeed there was one.

The movements, set to a funky soundtrack of strings and what sounded like jazz trumpet, were at times free flowing and lyrical but, just as they gathered pace and I became excited, they came to a sudden halt. The smooth lines and fragile balancing acts were replaced with jerky convulsions and robotic stances.

The four dancers, two male and two female, explored their bodies, using their hands to position their feet or embrace themselves. Perhaps this was the title's meaning, referring to the biological differences between the sexes?

At other times, a lone male was left in the cold while the other three came to terms with the relationship they had created.

This was a fascinating piece which sparked some interesting post-show discussion. But, at times, it was rather slow and heavy-going where a more light-hearted touch would have been appreciated.
