emotional energy
eine Kooperation mit dem Medienkünstler Micha Thies/Frischzelle (D)
Die Choreografin Silke Z. (D), der Medienkünstler Micha Thies (D) und die beiden Tänzer Antonio Cabrita (P) und Manuel Silva(P) begeben sich gemeinsam auf die Spurensuche nach der emotionalen Energie…
In emotional energy forschen wir an der emotionalen Energie, die eine Bewegung im Raum hinterlassen kann. Ist es diese emotionale Energie mit der wir den Zuschauer berühren und erreichen?
Über die Dekonstruktion der formalen Tanzsprache, die hier die Basis bildet, wird die energetische Basis einer Bewegung sichtbar gemacht und in den Raum und zum Zuschauer projiziert.
Die Videoebene greift diese energetische Ebene auf und macht sie - ebenfalls für den Zuschauer - sichtbar. Live. Die Tänzer treten in einen Dialog mit dem Medium Video und Sound, die pure Energie einer Bewegung wird sichtbar und hinterlässt in
sich transformierenden Projektionen Spuren, die ein Eigenleben entwickeln...
„The more you can let go of your control and give it over to a kind of transparency in the body, a feeling of disappearance, the more you will be able to grasp differentiated form and differentiated dynamics. You try to divest your body of movement, as opposed to thinking that you are producing movement.
So it would not be like pushing forward into space and invading the space - it would be like leaving your body in space."

emotional energy
a cooperation with the media artist Micha Thies /Frischzelle (G)
the choreographer Silke Z. (G), the media artist Micha Thies (G) and the performer Antonio Cabrita (P) and Manuel Silva (P) researching on emotional energies.
In the project emotional energy we like to research on the energy that a movement can leave in space like an atmosphere or like a feeling...
Is this the energy that will allow us to reach and touch the audience in an emotional way?
By deconstructing a formal dance language – which will serve as a base – we will try and texturelize and visualize the energetic base of a movement which will be projected into the space.
The projections will be created live. The visual media is interactive. The dancers will enter a dialogue with the projection and with the sound which will be also created live and will be as well as the projection depending on the action of the dancers.
The movements will leave traces (images) on the floor of the stage and depending on the relation between the two dancers these images will transform...
At any time these images can start to have their own lives ...and function like another dancer in the space...
