Gunshot is very much a dance show, and not so much physical theatre as it states in the Fringe program. Amanda Pye and Rhanda Jones have choreographed an interesting and provocative ensemble work.
The piece begins with choreography set to recognizable orchestral scores.
At first this seems jarring because what we are seeing does not match what we are hearing. By the time we accept this as a stylistic choice the music changes. What follows musically for the rest of the show is more electronic and modern. It seemed to be the better choice because it fit, and made me question the opening number, which may very well have been the intention.
