DANCE PERFORMANCE-RITUAL “THE MEET(ING)”
Find the witch. See and see through to the end.
THE MEET(ING) is a ritual of a closed community, inviting the audience to become not only observers but also participants. Together, to rock a doll like a woman, swing a doll like a woman, sink ships with a glance, heal with pure spring water, and—by letting your hair down—set the devil free, while seeing the three most significant vices among the ugliest women: unbelief, vanity, and a mad craving for carnal pleasures.
December 6, 7:00 p.m., Arts Printing House (Black Hall)
VISUAL DANCE PERFORMANCE “GAME OVER”
VISUAL DANCE PERFORMANCE “GAME OVER”
When visiting the grave of Julio Cortázar, one of the most famous Argentine writers of the 20th century, it is customary to leave a glass of wine and a sheet of paper on which a game of “classes” is drawn. Inspired by this tradition and the author’s rules for playing with the imagination, the “Low Air” team presents an innovative performance that combines the fields of dance and visual art. The visual dance performance “Game Over” explores dreams and analyzes how they might be interpreted in real life. The performance is rich in symbols and codes, which the audience will attempt to decipher together with the creative team.
December 20, 7:00 p.m., Arts Printing House (Black Hall)
IMPROVISATION SESSION
IMPROVISATION SESSION
The term “improvisation,” frequently used in the dance community, will be the main focus of the evening—during the session, movement will be created “here and now,” spontaneously, while listening to the DJ, to one another, and observing the surroundings. Anyone who wishes to join the improvisation session is welcome; the curating dancers will help participants surrender to the moment through movement games and examples from their own practice.
How to prepare? Wear loose, comfortable clothing; we’ll move without shoes, in socks or barefoot.
Join us to discover new possibilities of movement and expand your creative repertoire.
