FIRST RUN
February - March 2001, London
The project was ended by a lecture on non-linear composition followed
by a short and informal choreographic demonstration.
Research project based on the study of open choreographic systems.
Perfect Circles aims to explore issues related to non-linear composition
through the use of choreography as a dynamic process regulated by a chosen
set of arbitrary procedures.
This is envisioned as a part of a continuous exchange of information in
which the feedback of each identity has an active part in the real-time
shaping of the performed outcome. At the same time we intend to go beyond
the simple codification of information, maintaining a "poetic sense" within
the created dance material, we will in particular search for a more in-depth
understanding of non-linear interactive processes by gradually increasing
the complexity of its codification.
I have been exploring non-linear choreography and fluid environments for
years but what I find unsatisfactory is the seemingly chronic dependency
on "high tech" specifications when creating such works. In this research
we will try to bring the focus back to the body and its natural relation
with time and space. We will also aim to explore how specific conventions
present in different cultures and languages (artistic or social) function
in the shaping of our realities and the way we communicate to each other.
PERFECT CIRCLES is ultimately a research about differences, conventions
and communication perpetrated in a fluid environment.
