Playing with Gravity / releasing the roar
Performance-Projekt
with
Nadine Freisleben
In the frame of Moving through styles
In this project we deal with the gravity of the body in relation to space. We work with questions like: What spatial freedom can be activated in oneself and towards others? What feelings/emotions does it trigger when the floor presses against the feet and not the feet against the floor, or the moving skin against the air, or against the skin of another person? What muscle tone does it need to adapt to or resist the spatial and physical environment?
Using exercises that focus on the anatomy of the body, we gain a new understanding of the body in space. Building on this, we explore the relationship between ourselves and our environment with various individual and group improvisation exercises. Through different movement sequences and the use of various rhythms from Afro-Contemporary, we activate our concentration, coordination skills and muscle strength. The aim is to achieve an ecstatic and physically demanding language of movement in the interplay of relaxed and explosive movements, which gives physical expression to our inner self, be it happiness or stress and anger, among other things. On the last day, we will present the research in a performative group work as part of a public show.
