Estudios para Anatomía-Coreografía
Title: Estudios para Anatomía – COREOGRAFÍA
Choreographer: Natalia Fernandes
Cía. Natalia Fernandes – Projects for Anatomy
Performers: Natalia Fernandes, Dakota Comín, Isabela Rossi, Teresa Santos y Gonzalo Simón
Countdown: 10 minutes
Four dancers in the stage, dressed with different black fabrics, four runways.
First: they execute the choreography
Then: they start to play with the choreographic elements:
Duration | Repetition | Intention | Levels
Placement | Displacement | Velocity | …
Like in a morgue, Natalia Fernandes tries to dissect a body, a choreographic corpse. In the process we can feel at least two things: first, that the choreography is a non-dead body which can be manipulated by both Fernandes and her performers. Second, that the choreography is not a narrative script, but a work in progress.
Countdown: 5 minutes
Twist | Pause | Silence | …
First: There is a runway change.
Second: some new elements clearly appear – but what elements?
Strength | Contortion | Distortion | Suspension
This change comes at the half-way stage, and even if this is because of a lack of lack of time, or because of a choreographic decision, the feeling is that it comes too soon: there were still more possibilities to explore.
Deadline: 00
Surprisingly, at the end of the countdown the lights don’t go out, nor does the movement stop. Even in the end, we still have a couple of seconds to appreciate the accumulation of the study in the bodies.
