TANZ | Solo 3. Starting at 2min. (MP3, 11MB)

Tanz could be understood as a transcription of artistic expression (dance), through the medium of text and sounds. I was interested in the totality of dance – from the space that it occupies to the embodiment of the dancer. Using different techniques, from shifting point of views, to the reordering of scales and the juxtoposition of macrocosms and microcosms, I attempt to show the dancer in multiple states of being, and his/her correspondent relationship with the physical space itself.

As such, I try to apprehend the pieces that make up the whole. From the volume within volumes of the stage, to the capacities of the body as it move through space which are defined as much by the choreography as the physiological aspects of the body, and the sensations that well up in the dancer during the performance.
