Notebook Series
Berlin-Premiere
by
Colette Sadler
In the frame of 9. Tanznacht Berlin 2016
The choreographic work of Colette Sadler depicts hybrid bodies in a state of transformation. “Notebook Series” uses her archive of past work as a foundation for creating a kaleidoscope of otherness. Her partner on stage is a laptop that records and responds to her movements and words. In a dialogue between man and machine, Sadler draws awareness to different modes of perception and opens up a space in which the body cannot be labeled.

With support from CAMPO (Belgium).
