Dance #1 / Driftworks
Dance #1 / Driftworks is a continuation of the research Eszter Salamon began in Nvsbl (2006) in technology of body expressions, based on specific body practices (Body-Mind Centering, etc.) and processes of observation, imagination, sensation and memory of various ’body-systems’. In the frame of Dance #1 / Driftworks, Salamon constructs choreographies of „volatile bodies” (E. Grosz) proposing to experience a journey between attention and intention of performers and spectators alike. The expressions result from the internal physical compositional work more than from representing characters and psychological states in their image.
