copernicus drifting
Showing / Durational Dance Performance
by
Emmilou Rößling
In the frame of The Last Open Spaces?
How can something so slippery as dance, that basically disappears the moment it is over, be preserved? How can something be shared that vanishes, and how can something vanished be passed on? Dance poses a problem to ways of recording and remembering, and perhaps also to what it means to make something. “Copernicus drifting” ventures into the shady terrain where looks deceive, words hide behind their meaning and dance turns on itself.
Four women are dancing together, evoking a space that is contemplating the notion of paradigm shift, an irreversible advancement within a discipline and the tension generated between new forms of knowledge and the necessary coming to an end of established world views. These overlapping ambiguities, drifting time and space and that what is left in the intervals of transmission, link to sensations of anxiety and grief paradoxically experienced as a doubling of a wishful anticipation of what has yet to come.
This is a preview of a future piece that will premiere at Tanzfabrik Berlin on 16 September.

Emmilou Rößling
Emmilou Rößling’s work evolves around questions of representation and perception, often exploring different forms of camouflage, and using different media, including dance, performance, textiles, and sculpture, with an interest in occupying zones of indeterminacy. Her recent works, including THE FRATERNITY (2020), FLUFF (2019), WATER COOLER CHAT (2018), have been presented in venues such as Judson Church NYC, Sophiensaele Berlin, Arsenic Lausanne, Beursschouwburg Brussels, Mousonturm FFM and Frankfurter Kunstverein. Emmilou studied choreography in Gießen and at the Amsterdam University of the Arts and fine arts at the Städelschule Frankfurt. www.emmilouroessling.com
