Choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker burst onto the cultural landscape in 1982 with Fase, a fascinating dance work in four parts (three duets and one solo) set to the music of American minimalist composer Steve Reich.

De Keersmaeker applies Reich’s phase-shifting principle to her choreography. Just as Reich allows his tones to gradually shift in rhythm, the movement evolves and dancers slowly move in and out of unison and make tiny changes. Performing with perfect timing, the dancers appear almost mechanical and yet they create an entrancing effect.

Fase, Four Movements To The Music of Steve Reich, plays as part of Early Works, a celebration of the work of De Keersmaeker.
