A PLACE project
"A Place" is not merely a presentation; it's a journey that skillfully intertwines various artistic elements to create an emotionally resonant and intellectually stimulating experience for the audience. It stems from the multi-sensory approach. Choreography and bodily-emotional expressions communicate emotions and experiences that words alone may struggle to convey. The audiovisual elements complement these movements, engaging the audience's senses on multiple levels. The combination of these elements makes the experience more immersive and resonant.
Finding ourselves in the conditions of migration, Valeria Khripach and I thought about what a place is for us, how we can take our place with us, how communication between two people is born when we have to share a place. The result was a sketch that became the start of a big work.
STEP I. Showcase
STEP II. Laboratory
The project was started, inspired, explored, and researched in the format of an international dance laboratory and afterlab performance for professionals and amateurs (Presentation during contemporary dance festival in Tbilisi in November 2022.).
