How do bodies, from the point of view of their materiality compose themselves in a dance compare to more familiar ways, such as those centered around imprinting choreography from a single point of external authority.
Movement, mobility and organisation (not only of the body) is here at stake. Following this simple displacement— movement, body-sensation, change—this works aims to carry out and redistribute form not as a stylistic exercise but as form of being in the world, with the world and organise the consequences of it own emergence/becoming. It is a quest toward a movement of subjective perceptual experience. What begins as physical perception returns to affect the structures of a local model of society governed by individuals.
From there on, new economies of attention are proposed by the performers to the viewers. Both taking-part in the unfolding of that one event: the dance.
On stage the performers move onto their surrounding like on horizon line of a “relief”. The bodies articulate uncanny coordinations. Pure motion and physical narrative become interchangeable.
