The Old Brewery in Poznań is launching its new artistic season on Friday, 3 October (7 pm). The opening premiere Back to bone strips dancing back to what it is made of.  The focus falls not merely on gestures and steps but on what’s central to Crisp’s choreographic and dance practice ? attentiveness, or the ability to stay in the present moment, to trace impulses that trigger individual movements and to make a creative use of even the slightest changes that take place in a dancer’s body. Engaging in continuous decision-making in the process of dancing, the performers are able to stimulate many senses at the same time and to initiate sometimes exceptional movements that can have any dynamics, may originate in any part of their body, effortlessly, and without any predetermined direction.  The body is liberated from imposed constricting conventions of movement and tensions which hinder a free flow of energy. In a fascinating and seemingly unstable choreographic space, we see the creative potential of attentiveness in its full glory.

 

Featuring: Martyna Lorenc, Anna Nowicka, Janusz Orlik, Tomek Pomersbach, Julia Plawgo, Katarzyna Wolińska and Marysia Zimpel.
