Hunt and Darton present ‘The Moves’
Hunt and Darton’s work comes out of a shared interest in what it means to be human, embracing all that is embarrassing and revealing the daily frustrations there to be discussed but never resolved. ‘The Moves’ is a series of actions and gestures ridiculous by nature and aptly named; including ‘Saw 1 and 2’, ‘Huh’, ‘Jokey’ and ‘Thigh Flap’. They could be described as resembling something that looks like it has a point when clearly it doesn’t or simply a space where the lunge is revered and having a V.P.L is a good look! ‘The Moves’ also, includes ‘Clap Thrust’, ‘Teeth’ and ‘Fanny one’ and at times it will get a bit horsey!
