Based on the Chaos Theory, where does the point go when we miss it? is a piece composed to explore and play with the dynamics of co-existence.
What happens when we meet as we are and perform as we meet?
Interconnectedness, repetition, fractals, feedback loops and other principles of the theory were used to create movement scores as well as compositional structures, hoping to make a performance that is in itself a dynamical system: perceived alive and unpredictable while governed by underlining patterns and sensitive deterministic laws.
The performers, from various walks of life, perform scores devised with and for them. Unique skills, quirks and habits are the building material for this world.
Never rehearsed as a whole, with the performers unaware of each other's scores and instructed to remain sensitive and responsive to all that happens, this dance piece shifts every time it is performed and no one knows what is going to happen.
“Mixing layers of set choreography, movement improvisation, chance and tasks, we attempt to create a meeting place, a playground, a collective fantasy. There is life and death, synchronicity and mess, tenderness and roughness, genuine laughter, “mistakes”, there is people sharing who they are and what they dream of. There is US being there for one-another, becoming and belonging together, intra-acting, challenging, learning, creating and solving problems/riddles -and dancing in our favourite glitter dresses.”
