Description
The new work by Mariela Nestora / YELP danceco. explores the forms adorning red-figure and black-figure vases of ancient Greek pottery. It brings these forms to life, not as mere representations of the past but as a potential arena for questioning and creating narratives. The choreography – as a mechanism of appropriation, repetition, and reformulation – stirs and inscribes memories, rendering time fluid and porous. This excavation of movement takes place in the here and now in ongoing interaction with live music. Is movement form or energy, action or context, embodiment or transformation, positive or negative space, sensation or thought, source or echo, perception or transmission, reproduction or comment? In the dance performance Appropriations: Excavation of Movement, the past, present, and future are not distinct entities, but interrelated manifestations of the same experience. What do we choose to place in the background and what in the foreground of our attention?
