DANCERS for ESMOG Festival

Long Distance Danceperformance (Demoversion) with dancers in Sao Paolo, Wuppertal, München and Singapore. Friday, 19th of March at 10 pm CET

The performance is a work in progress: this time it will have four dancers involved, who create a collaborative choreography that will be performed live and in real time with each dancer performing alone in his/her space but act together on four screens. The choreography will evolve like a chain reaction starting with an impulse to move given by one of the dancers, taken and modified by the next and so on. The actions can either take place in public spaces or in a private situation. The performance will be rehearsed in online meetings in February and will be performed in front of live audiences / or in solitude but can be shown via live stream in all places linked with the electrosmog festival.
