Rankefod - Press Quotes Anne-Marie Elmby, Fall 2005, Dance International, Canada. A magical dance animal who continuously spellbinds the eye. The most exceptional prodigy in Danish dance; from inside the shell, existence roars in timeless ripples embroidered into Sture Ericson’s stirring electro-acoustic score. And with Mogens Kjempff’s precise grained light of ages and the pause on Charlotte Østergaard’s dreamy textile backdrop creating a timeless universe; …. People become animals, creatures become thoughts … It takes place right in front of your eyes but still you are in doubt as to what you are actually watching. Rankefod is universal at the highest level. And so extremely exclusive, because the sense perception of Kitt Johnson’s naked skin and peculiar muscle tone is crucial to the experience of the dance. It is strange the way she makes you think twice, this insistently original creature. A fascinating loner in Danish dance; her body, a perfectly tuned instrument. Simultaneously she performs both meditatively and intensely and it is this tactile, corporeal experience her dance brings to the audience. It strikes a chord in all of us. A deeply fascinating dance performance about the birth of life. It is wildly fascinating to watch, like being a witness to the birth of a new existence; insistent repetitions force us to focus on the movement and body alone, not on the person involved; an intense and wonderful experience.
