choreographic installation for 1 dancer and 15 mixed media art works

CHOREOGRAPHER’S NOTE

I chose a kinesiological language with an unchanged rhythm which will consist the continuity and simultaneously be memory and transition. I trusted the heart and breath as significant points of movement and as transition platforms to the next moment. I entrusted that there is always a next moment; I entrusted that if I stay connected with now I have already moved to the next moment. In some way, it is as if something powerful happens inside the body. And what the audience perceives is this nanometric circuit of movement which leads from the most vital energy to the form of the gesture. It is not only the composition of movements that characterize the choreography but the moment of the refraction of time, as a dive in its eternity. A mathematical dance where the unit geometrizes in points of a noticed space. An interdependent system of balance – unbalance, on which the human element exposed to the phenomenon of gravity, tries to recover, to stand, to walk.

ABSTRACT

Time is motion, motion with the sense of change and being. Logos (the Greek meaning of Reason) is the operator of time, the initially thinking ocean without beginning or end, with the absolute symmetry, which broke and became asymmetrical and functional.

Order / Disorder
Balance / Unbalance

The eternal fire which lits and extinguishes in moderation. The disordering and aleatory obeys to measure which dominates and is Logos. Body which is composed and decomposed, it changes to spinning in an internal abyss. Everything is structured and destructured through continuous changes of the parts that make up the whole.
