Australian choreographer Lewis Major at the Edinburgh Fringe presents an elegant, fluid, ethereal series of dances. In slow movements, bodies in black twist, bend, dip and turn to sounds that sometimes sound like a xylophone or the high notes of a piano, sometimes contemporary, sometimes classical. The three women in “Prologue” evoked the flight of butterflies.

In a second piece, “Unfolding,” light bathed four dancers. (Major does the lighting and visual design for most pieces.)

­As they did Major’s slow bends, twists, shifting turns and lifts, light hit parts of them creating a visual geometry of their bodies. Bodies were entwined. They glittered. The music was rock or electronic.

­­­For the last section the piano was classical. In one part, a muscular dancer twisted like a fawn in the dim light.

It’s a smart stylized production, in some ways as much theater as dance.
