What happens when you lock people you don't know into a space?
How are relationships formed?
How do the relationships that are formed affect those present?
What are the dynamics and rhythms within the group?
How does the location in space itself influence what happens?
Do you need sound, movement?
Our team is grappling with the obstacles of their social network as they search for answers.
After the Budapest School of Contemporary Dance, Péter Juhász was accepted at the SEAD institute in Salzburg, then worked at Les Ballets C de la B, with the Danses in Charleroi, with Eléonore Valère-Lachky. She has now been working in France for several years with Emanuel Gat's company.
The Central European Dance Theatre (KET) held a double presentation at CAFe Budapest. Máté Mészáros Chains and Péter Juhász Sinni was edited into an evening to showcase what the KET dancers can do under the direction of guest choreographers.
The performance is driven by these little witty touches, ingenious connections and images that evoke childlike wonder. Who would have guessed that the twelve feet of the six dancers moving and swaying in synchronicity, stuck together, would be like the skeleton of a fantasy creature! (Chains) // While in Mészáros' performance the individual and often even the human features disappeared, the dancers often performed with their backs to the audience, covering each other or lying down, only seeing certain parts of their bodies from strange perspectives, here the spotlight is literally on the human - the individual and the dance that is meant to express individuality.Sinni)
"...a Chainsthere is little movement that could be traditionally considered dance, but the performers explore a wide range of simple but emphatically simple movement possibilities and their varied interpretations." // A Sinniin "(t)he very different characters, who stand hesitantly at first, texting, singing, and then splashing around in space, each get a few minutes of dancing "fame" in this in a loosely linked solo series, so they can all show what a small company can do when it throws itself into the creative process."
What do we do with each other when we are in a space as strangers, what regulators govern us, and what regulators do we create?
