Stop.Go.Rewind

Solo performance, running time approximately 7 min

An experiment in gliding motion and accelerating dance

Choreographic explorations in a new space 

 

How exactly can a dance phrase be transferred onto the ice? 

What happens when "spatially bound" dance movement is superimposed on the gliding motion that ice demands and both are merged?

Does movement performed on ice automatically change dance movement into something that glides? How does the audience’s optical perception of dance change in the vastness of the new space provided by ice? 

What adjustments must be made to the demands of this smooth medium?

 

Stop.Go.Rewind. premiered at the international festival for contemporary ice skating -5° Sur Scène, Festival des Arts de la Glace in Monéteau, France in 2014 and was awarded with the festival’s Prix du Jury.
