Spectrum of MOVE, a series that builds not only on our previous performance practice, but also on the contemporary world in which we all find ourselves – the continuing effects of covid, the proximity of war. Questions around the importance of shared dance and exploration, making, etc.

What all is moving? What other things, living beings surround us, how much do we see them moving?  It is more important than ever…. What are all the themes contemporary dance can talk about? What themes can it process in a time of global warming, when collapse is already being experienced in our everyday lives?  

Dance, movement, the body, can speak to contemporary issues in a unique way – so that the “new language” is inscribed in its way of making, of being made, and because of this, the process of making the works themselves is changed. 

In the first part of the Spectrum of MOVE: PLAN(TS) series, we focus on movement that is not seen, that is not very visible – movement, dance and choreographies that are not created by humans. Through a polyphonic monologue branching, dividing, sitting – like plants or choreographies and dance – we begin a dialogue between human beings and plants.

In the second piece, DAVID AND TEREZA, we explore movement that can be a dialogue with the past – a movement of time, a recycling or re-mediation of a production already made, a dialogue with a video recording. A duet between a child and an adult dancer was created 15 years ago. Tereza Ondrová was then 26 years old and little David was 6 years old. What if they meet again?
