Tempo Dance Festival 2022 - Body of Work and QWERTY - A Double Bill

BODY OF WORK – prophetic

A dance with the digital.

Conditions decided by us.

Body Of Work explores the tension between the performance and the documentation of the performance, by making them one in the same through a synthesis of the human body and technology, playing with the perception of time. A hybrid, a cyborg, a performance where opposition is irrelevant so that the question remains, who choreographs and who is choreographed?

QWERTY – the sequel

A dance with the digital.

Conditions forced upon us.

QWERTY experiments with interior and exterior interfaces and explores where thresholds begin and end within and beyond the limitations of the dancing body. Where is the interface between a dance and its audience? How does the dissonance between seeing and feeling the physical body program new pathways via the digital realm?
