Teaser of performance

video teaser of "No Comfort Zone" (excerpt) by Fenia Kotsopoulou

"No Comfort Zone": esprime un’idea di creazione contemporanea come interazione tra differenti linguaggi e pratica di ricerca comprendendo un margine auspicabile di non conforto, o rischio, come parte fruttuosa del processo. Riconosciamo nel movimento del corpo e nel movimento del suono una stessa entità che sottoponiamo ad un pari trattamento decostruttivo/ricostruttivo.

Nel corpo sonoro cerchiamo una dimensione non organica, non fluida, non scorrevole: un segno capace di restituire la frammentarietà dei pensieri e l’opposta tensione, o forza del sentire, verso quell’esperienza di “continuum” costantemente sfuggente. Ascoltando Beethoven.

Video documentation about the choreographing process of "Ptosis" by Pavlos Kountouriotis, the second of his minimalistic and repetitive choreographies
(www.kountouriotis.org)

"Fragments of Experience" is actually a series of video documentaries that I did in order to encapsulate the process and help it find a new life. These videos document only some tiny fraction of the work and function both as a historical record and as a new artwork themselves.

Kristina Becker, Arthur Haas, Johanna Honkanen, Jerimia Jerimia, Hanna Lee, Marianne Linder, Tina Machulik, Koeun Park, Oovi Patrao, Alex Polupanow, Swarna Rautiainen, Céline Riat, Caroline Servollek, Viktoria Trow-Poole, Timothée Uehlinger, Serja Vesterinen
