Performance Projects

How many times do we say one thing and mean another? How often do we think we understand another person only to discover we have been speaking two different languages all along? In this performance project we will play with meaning, we will toss ideas back and forth between our bodies and in conversations. Non-verbal communication can account for 65-70 percent of the meaning in a conversation, scientists tell us. And each one of us speaks a unique mixture of gestures, body language and spoken words. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a key to crack the mysterious code of another human, or simply to invent a new language? Alone and as a group, we will consider gestures personally and culturally and how they are interpreted. We will tell our personal histories through our postures, gestures, our movements and we will listen to each other. Through dance and notdance, we will move, sweat, weave an intuitive map of desire, vulnerability and the thirst to communicate.

This work proposes to relate our inner and outer worlds physically and emotionally and to the different ways we can embody and intertwine them while we explore and improvise. We will work with layers between real and abstract, real and surreal and let those speak and transform into performative material. For that we are going to work concretely with the space and what surround us: architecture, materials, objects and others, allowing that perception to be influenced by imagination and fiction embodying it and composing with it. We gather a collective body filled out with different bodies of imagined possibilities as well as ordinary realities.

It is based as well on composing instantly with movement, taking awareness of each movement´s presence in space and time. The practice conceives the body as a multisensory body that makes its surrounding a part of it. The extent here expresses itself through movement, which depends on the way one draws space through perception and imagination. The participants have the opportunity to approach and practice the art of composing at the moment. A work whose technique and tools are not based on the aesthetic, but on the kinesthetic and that deepens the relationship of inner and outer worlds into dance and performance.
