TRACK

After Emi Miyoshi and the SHIBUI collective continued their long-standing research interest in polyrhythmic spaces in S_HE IS SEA Etude (premiere 13.03.2024, E-WERK Freiburg), the Freiburg choreographer devotes her new production TRACK to the exploration of walking. The piece plays with the deconstruction of a familiar system by breaking down walking into its components, changing their natural sequence and providing them with new points of gravity and reference. The step as an uncoordinated falling and rearing up again evokes a forward movement with previously unfamiliar dynamics and rhythms. An individual pattern becomes recognizable, which the performers develop further in the course of the choreography, towards a progression of advancement. The question of “how” is explored physically and through dance. As the three dancers (Anna Kempin, Marcella Centenero, Daniel Conant) relate to each other, a network of new spaces and points of reference gradually emerges, offering support and orientation. The interplay between the varying steps, the rhythm visualized in the stage set and the musical soundscape creates a polyrhythmic space.
