| Summary: | This choreographed experimentation was built around the notion of one’s corporeality and how it interacts with its surroundings and the other. How are the outdoor setting’s lines and outlines blend or break with that of the dancers? How do the body and nature contrast and resonate with one another, in harmony or discord, yet seemingly and continuously reaching a status quo where one does not consume the other. She and he, alone with nature, play with its rules and its rights, turning a stable yet fluid space into an extension of themselves. The two distinctive bodies in their shapes, movements and corporeal qualities end up trying to find a balance with each other while maintaining one’s singular corporeality as well as one’s indefectible link with space. The solo becomes a duo, and the duo becomes a trio in which spatial conceptions adjust and become one and the same for the two dancing bodies, turning space into a common place where the imperceptible becomes palpable: a catalyst through which harmonious togetherness can be found and fulfilled. |
