ExPro Stage

Kompani Catapult residens på World Dance Company sommaren 2021, beskriver sitt arbete:

“Vi påbörjade där ett längre processarbete i ett projekt som heter Dansen i Språket. Ett språk har en rytm, en frasering, ett tempo – och vi ville utforska hur detta ges uttryck i kroppen. Under vårt residens jobbade vi bland annat med kroppsspråk, ryktesspridning, källkritik och beskrivande ord.

Vi arbetade både med att leda varsin dag och att skapa tillsammans. Under dagarna  laborerade vi med ovan nämnda teman, och hur de tog sig uttryck i kroppen. Vi har reflekterat och diskuterat kring det vi upplevt och upptäckt. De liknelser och skillnader vi hittat i olika ord och fraser har ofta varit som en aha-upplevelse som lett oss in på nya spår. 

Dansen i Språket är ett ämne som kan utforskas i oändligheten. Dessa två veckor har gett oss en gedigen start och insikt i vad vi vill fördjupa oss i senare i processen. Vi ser hur detta kan utmynna i de tre tänkta delarna, en scenisk produktion, ett kulturpedagogiskt projekt samt en uppsökande skolproduktion.”

Medverkande

KINETIK

Kinetik är resultatet av en rörelse. Därför är kinetiken beroende av rörelse från dess effekt. Utan den finns den inte. Här utforskas resultatet av rörelse och analyserar konsekvenserna. Kinetiken påverkas dock inte bara av den rörelsen som människan utför. Den påverkas också av människor som interagerar med individen såväl som med omgivningen.

”Kinetic” är ett pågående verk som utvecklats under residens, organiserad av Danscentrum Väst sommaren 2021.

MOVEMENT 6.35
When the body is moving from one place to the other, a sensitiveness of feelings appear. The body needs adjusting to the reaction of moving from the tropic place to the place with four seasons. The meeting between people from different parts of the world, trilingual communication. Habits, ways and perspectives generate questions; why like this and why like that? Why, why and why. The result is a fusion. Javanese dance movement and modern ballet.

Feri Sri Danarto
Is a professional dancer originating from Indonesia. Feri is trained in traditional Indonesian dance and ballet and has worked as a dancer, dance teacher and choreographer in Bali, Indonesia and Malaysia. He is currently based in Gothenburg.

BARLAST
The etymology is old German / Scandinavian. It means “bare”, which in turn means “worthless (cargo)”. The word barlast is ironic. The cargo itself has no value, but the act of loading or throwing it away brings it value – to create balance. We naturally rid ourselves of things, words and memories – keeping our personality balanced by forgetting. What is important for us to be able to create balance in our life? How do we as transplants connect to a new community or environment? What are the things we connect ourselves to when we feel lost?
The relationship with others and things affect the body and the body affects audiences.
Human relationships are visualized through playing games, as many have experienced as a child.

Takuya Fujisawa
Additionally, Takuya has been doing “movement and creativity” research between the Netherlands, Sweden and Austria. This activity connects dancers from different countries, where different ideas are shared, polished and brought back to each country and company.
