maybe tomorrow | johannes wieland
maybe you won't see the sensation. maybe i won't see it either. maybe i will.
maybe i cover the sensation. maybe you uncover the sensation.
maybe you grasp the sensation. maybe i don't. maybe tomorrow. maybe today.
but more like tomorrow. then i found the sensation and danced. for a while.
now i will undance everything. for a while. but not today.
dim timbre | sam coren
In this process we are all trying to find our dark voice. We use principles not only from dance, but also from mask, mime and clown work to approach the creation. The work often requires versatility from the performer:s as they must move quickly between different genres, movement styles, and characters. Sam's work is very concept-driven and revolves around the idea of satire, sardonic humor, and randomness. It's about building a world, and the more surreal the world, the better. We have an idea, play with it, tear it apart, turn it upside down, and wonder if we're making terrible mistakes. We decide we are, and keep going anyway, until the piece rises from the ashes of our insecurities.
unleash the beasts into the negative space | tamara gvozdenovic & kangding ray
le facteur
Behind Tamara's approach lies a constant process of self-questioning, about how the body finds its place in space and what impact it can have. She wants to take the dancers on a physical and musical research that is constantly in a state of negotiation and adaptability. Exploring a wide range of qualities, we let go of our inner judgments and those of the ego. We move from fluid to abrupt, from a trance state to intentional repetition, from primitivism to architecturalism. The use of electronic and techno music provokes an immediate movement response, brings forth an animalistic body in which the senses are multiplied and the focus is sharp. Tamara grabs the physical attention of the dancers and enables a tangible experience of time and space: past, present and future live together. In this way, movement and transformation become an initiatory exploration to build newness on a neutral but solid foundation. After discovering the universe of Kangding Ray in 2015, Tamara gathered direct responses from dancers around the world to its unique sound. Appreciating the energy, textures and rhythms his music evokes during her classes, she decided to invite the artist to collaborate. These two tireless explorers:inside will open the dialogue between dance and experimental music to further push the boundaries of movement and sound and find a raw and intuitive answer to their common interest: endless sharing. This is the beginning of a new journey.
