The reality compressed into two-dimensional images changing our everyday perceptions
The two works explore the physical body’s crossing of borders, stepping into the unknown
Drifting
Wandering off from the daily rituals, we drift together.
The work explores the use of video games and dance moves as means of projecting the modern consciousness, so as to reach a physical state different from everyday life during the process. Strong musical beats and rhythms connect video game characters and instinctive movements to repetitive rhythms, allowing the dancers to transcend the shackles imposed by the physical body.
Residency: Choi X Kang Project x Joseph Lee x KT Yau
Work-in-progress Showing
The four choreographers began their cross-border dialogue last year, exchanging views, proposing ideas, discussing, listening, and creating works virtually. Ideas and questions on the mode of collaboration, the possibility of having dialogues on an equal footing, and the limitations of language as a medium for communication were accumulated during the process. Yet, none of these limited their imaginations to the square horizon and showcase the results of their cross-border dialogues to the audience.
