Abacus expresses the effects of routine and monotony on us. It asks whether there is harmony in routine, and if there is ever anything original in repetition. It identifies the freedom and beauty in the everyday.
​
Abacus is a contemporary dance performance for 9 women and 18 buckets. The performers take the buckets through a 40 minute sequence of routines that echo the experience of work. The women have become so well versed at their tasks on the 'night shift' that they perform their work with an eerie precision that locates the beauty in work and gestures.
