"Bird Song moves very much more jaggedly. This time, Davies drew her
inspiration from the lilting call of the Australian pied butcher bird,
and the entire piece seems to corkscrew up to a figurative solo in which
a single dancer elegantly becomes a lone winged creature, to a chorus
of actual bird song (Cunningham's Beach Birds comes inevitably to mind).
Both before and after this, however, things are less
straightforward. Stunningly lit by Adrian Plaut, the piece begins with
the eight dancers flocking together on one side of the stage, beating
and shaking their limbs, then dashing in mild panic to an opposite corner.
And, just as Andy Pink's effective synthesized score seems to have taken
the bird's call as its starting point, so Davies's vibrant choreography
seems to evolve as a dark fantasy on a loosely ornithological theme."
