KINETECH ARTS:
AURUM
(EXCERPT)
IN THIS SOLO PERFORMANCE, DAIANE LOPES DA SILVA, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF KINETECH ARTS, WEARS AND ELECTROMYOGRAPHY DEVICE (EMG) THAT CAPTURES THE ELECTRIC SIGNALS COURSING THROUGH HER MUSCLES. THESE SIGNALS ARE FILTERED, CLEANED, AND THEN EMITTED THROUGH SPEAKERS, ALLOWING HER AND THE AUDIENCE TO SENSE THE INTERNAL DYNAMICS WITHIN HER BODY - THE KIND OF RAW ENERGY THAT IS OTHERWISE HIDDEN. THE SOUND PULSES THROUGH THE SPACE, REVEALING A LANDSCAPE OF MUSCLE TENSION, RELEASE, AND THE RHYTHMIC BEAT OF THE HEART, HINTING AT BOTH HER VULNERABILITY AND STRENGTH.
CHILDREN'S CORNER
CHOREOGRAPHY BY CONSTANTINE BAECHER
FEATURING THE ENTIRE COMPANY OF DANCERS AND APPRENTICES.
ORIGINALLY CREATED FOR NEW CHAMBER BALLET AND RE-STAGED FOR LTDC IN 2019, “CHILDREN'S CORNER” IS INSPIRED BY THE PLAYFUL ENERGY OF A CENTRAL PARK PLAYGROUND. BAECHER APPROACHES EACH REVIVIAL BY REWORKING SECTIONS AND REMAKING STEPS TO BETTER SUIT THE CURRENT CAST. "ITS A LIVING WORK THAT EVOLVES WITH EACH PERFORMANCE" NOTES BAECHER.
