Composer/ singer Maria Coma and choreographer/ dancer Naïma Mazic are uncovering shared roots in their first few encounters for soundance festival being in concert with each other. Naïma has been developing pathways for dancers and musicians to think and communicate through a common polyrhythmic melodic language and Maria’s seeds for „Rooting“ are her most recent compositions that emerge via the human body as the instrument and the origin of musicality, particularly the voice. The touch might happen entangled or untangled, their individual roots crossing in the same soil and breaths. In this duet, each moment something will be planted in the field of the unknown. Another way to improvise under the moon.

Dance: Naïma Mazic
Music: Maria Coma
Silvia Poch, Maria Kousi

The seventh soundance festival berlin from June 15-18, 2023 celebrates fine nuances, unexpected turns and magical moments in the here and now of dance and live music on four evenings. Musical gestures meet choreography, structures of notation connect dance and music, the unfamiliar becomes audible, filigree landscapes open up in the sound of voices.

Our new pilot format soundance expanded in dialogue with international Berlin dancer-choreographers focuses on their artistic collaboration with musicians in their own choreographic works.

On May 12/13, soundance expanded will accompany the German premiere of the duo performance Foreland - Bach and Britten by dancer-choreographer Nitsan Margaliot in collaboration with Amsterdam cellist Isaac Lottman at St. Matthew's Church.
