Contemporary dance in the white-box
Contemporary dance speaks a language that is open to interpretation. This translates on different levels: on the one hand there is the dancer who brings about an interpretation through body movement, on the other hand there is the spectator who assigns meaning to what is experienced - likewise there is the dancer who can translate the spectator's experience into dance. This creates a loop between dancer and spectator, allowing for a connection beyond words and a compassion that is shaped by dance.
Since this is not a social dance performance, rather an experience of a performance that takes place in an exhibition space rather than the usual theater, there is a space for reflection, the fourth wall - bounded in this space by the gallery window. The communication between the dancer and the spectator is thereby limited to a visual relationship, which can evoke certain desires, and emphasizes the reality of the experience between dancer and spectator. If the dancer is reduced to an object by the spectator, how is the dance experienced by both? The hope here is not so much that we can counter this phenomenon through sensitization, but rather how dancers can experience their art according to the situation, and how the emancipation of a dancer within a spectacle society can be expressed and unfolded.
Regardless of differences in sexual orientation, wherever one is born and raised, or what social role one propagates, contemporary dance and performance art remain a timeless medium for expressing and sharing the inner freedom and knowledge of the body with fellow human beings.
The performance plays out in chapters and interludes. The main site is the white-box presentation space of the gallery. This venue is publicly accessible by appointment and visible from the public space.
The interludes can take place ex-situ and can be part of the course of the performance through video projections.
Exhibition
This performance unfolds during the first half of 2023, with a monthly development of the plot and comes to completion in the fall of 2023, with a retrospective exhibition highlighting the participants' experience, the interactivity with the audience during the process, the presentation of a video dance version and the participation of the visitors in the exhibition.
For the research element - contemporary dance in the white box - we are searching performers to participate in our monthly events.
We didn't get a grant from the VC, so for now we don't have enough euro's to employ you yet, instead we can give you two free days to work at our atelier/gallery in return for your presentation.
