O predstavi
Sodoben ples - - -
Premikanje. Mirovanje.
Človeško telo, mnogoštevilčne izrazne možnosti.
Hoja, sedenje, tek, pogled, objem, skok, obrat, krik.
Posrednik med posameznikovim notranjim dogajanjem in okolico z inovativno uporabo celotne mehanike telesa. Premikanje mej znanega in novo definiranje telesa.
Fluidnost, drznost, abstraktnost. Mikro občutki v telesu.
Resna umetniška praksa z relativno visokimi vstopnimi ovirami za nepoznavalce?
Svoboden um.
Pristop k telesu z radovednostjo, sprejemanjem in brez strahu pred neznanim.
Tla. Kotaljenje.
Gestikulacija.
Odprtost za interpretacijo, odprtost za nerazumevanje.
Dostopnost. Vsak dan, vsepovsod.
Aplavz.
Projekt bo gledalcem nudi platformo za drugačno dojemanje giba na odru, ki niha nekje med abstrakcijo in konkretizacijo. Dotaknemo se problematike nerazumevanja-razumevanja sodobnega plesa in le tega skušamo približati širši laični publiki s pomočjo elementov, ki so jim blizu: zvok, video, tekst in jasne gibalne akcije.
About the performance
Contemporary dance - - -
Moving. Resting.
Human body, multiple possibilities of expression.
Walking, sitting, running, looking, hugging, jumping, turning, screaming.
A mediator between an individual's internal universe and surroundings, with an innovative use of the entire body mechanics. Moving the boundaries of the known, and re‑defining the body.
Fluidity, boldness, abstraction. Micro feelings in the body.
A serious artistic practice with relatively high entry barriers for outsiders?
Free mind.
Approach to the body with curiosity, acceptance, and without fear of the unknown.
Ground. Rolling.
Gesturing.
Openness for interpretation, openness to misunderstanding.
Accessibility. Every day, everywhere.
Applause.
The project will provide the audience with a platform for a different perception of the movement on the stage, which fluctuates somewhere between abstraction and concretization. We will touch upon the issue of misunderstanding‑understanding of contemporary dance, trying to bring it closer to broader lay audience with the help of the elements that are close to them: sound, video, text, and clear movements actions.
