Legna
“I move out because I am inside. I am inside because I moved out“.
The use of space as an architectural structure is the starting point for the development of the solo. The idea is to inhabit space with a clear identity. There are points which are touched and occupied by the moving body in space, expressing itself though movements. The movement itself changes its color through the different qualities.
“The basic idea is to inhabit space with an identity.
The identity is a moving body expressing itself with movements.
The movement itself changes color through different qualities.
The quality creates an emotional state.
The space is occupied by the moving body of the dancer
by touching different points (or rooms).
Each point (room) is entered and left“.
