Interval

In Interval we explore the relationship between dance and architecture. The piece is the result of a long research and collaboration with interdisciplinary artist Gosse de Kort.
In Interval the four dancers navigate through a kinetic installation. As the architectonic conditions change so do their relationships to the space and each other. How does the space influence the body, and when is the body informing the space? When are the two in symbiosis and when are they in confrontation? The piece questions these definitions, searching for a state without hierarchy where the elements together create a synesthetic, personal encounter for the viewer. Interval can be experienced as both a performance for theaters as well as a standalone installation for museums and public spaces.

Interval has been nominated for the Swan for most impressive dance production 2021.
