Courtney May Robertson | the pleasure of stepping off a horse when it’s moving at full speed

As a starting point for this short solo, Courtney takes a metaphor for self-control; a rider taming a wild horse. She looks at the struggle between embracing one’s primitive desires, and regulating behaviour in accordance with societal pressures. Visual projections encapsulate Courtney within an octagon spanning 3.5m in diameter. Through a combination of poetry, dance, and song, she travels across landscapes of personal desires, memories, and conflicts. The space acts like a time capsule; intimate home videos are spliced with samples from YouTube, documentaries and old films. the pleasure of stepping off a horse when it’s moving at full speed is Courtney’s attempt to embrace the, sometimes messy, contradictions that make up a multifaceted human.

Evangelos Biskas V | In Between

In Between is een solo van choreograaf Evangelos Biskas V, waarin hij werkt met het absurde en irrationele karakter van zijn eigen dromen. Hij gebruikt de droombeelden, stemmingen en intenties om zijn intuïtieve en instinctieve fysieke benadering van dans te sturen en vorm te geven. Experimentele hiphop, hedendaagse dans en improvisatie worden met elkaar vermengd. Evangelos ontwikkelt hiermee een authentieke bewegingstaal die zich beweegt tussen bizarre isolaties, ongecontroleerde losheid en een organische ‘flow’.

Evangelos Biskas V | In Between

In Between is a solo dance performance in which Evangelos Biskas works with the absurd and irrational character of his own dreams. He uses their images, mood and intentions in order to direct his instinctive physical approach. Experimental hip hop, contemporary and improvisation techniques are blended with each other in unexpected ways, developing an authentic movement language which alters between bizarre isolations, uncontrolled looseness and organic flow.
