Dancing

«Dancing» is a performance piece for 14 dancers in a white space. The piece begins with a hypnotic staccato sound loop as a music background for a sensuous solo by a female dancer. As the music changes into dancey beats, a male performer appears in a distance and starts a completely different sequence of extravert and techno-like movements, while the girl continues her solo, uninterrupted. Various performers and groups enter the stage and leave again in a carefully planned order of appearance. The choreography unveils as an accumulation of dance movements including delays, sequences staged in reverse,movements repeated with changing speed, multiplications and other formal complications, often reminiscent of cinematic techniques. Composed as a riddle, which orchestrates fourteen individual parts into one, «Dancing» is a powerful act of ecstatic dance under total control. The piece explores the subjective, individual body languages as material that can be structured, transferred and used by others. The body of each performer is recognized as a carrier of specific corporeal knowledge that can be shared and further used as tool to work with, in a similar way like other types of knowledge, commonly associated with the mental part of human being.
