I N D E F I N I T E   F R E Q U E N C Y  is a dynamic and immersive dance-concert, performed by three dancers and four percussionists. The audience is invited to traverse a journey of ever-changing constellations which sees the trio of dancers navigate a dynamic spectrum of movement qualities and states. The work is evolved from our interest in the role of memory in the present moment and revolves around the ripple effect that even seemingly minor experiences have on our identities. Music, movement and light combine to build a rich tapestry of texture, space, time and architecture. Questions of quantum mechanics, polarities and duality charge the work as the dancing body becomes a conduit to realise and actualise the usually impalpable aspects the make us who we are. The work considers the infinite web of connections and constellations that exist between us as the performers embody and illustrate the polarities of play and power. Drums and dance have been linked throughout human history. The work utilises musical compositions that exude ritual pulse and rich sonority, scaffolding the piece with atmospheric charge.

Slovenian Percussion Project, also known as SToP, is a percussion ensemble made up of academically educated musicians which was founded in 1999. The unique ensemble consists of established percussionists from different parts of Slovenia and they have played on numerous stages in Slovenia and abroad. SToP has recently become involved in other musical and non-musical art genres, thus discovering synergy in other art fields and (consciously) shifting from performing a strictly classical percussion programme. The ensemble won the Župančič Award in 2013 and the Prešeren Fund Award in 2014.
