Content:
If dancing alone is a relationship with imagination, dancing with a partner is a relationship with reality. We believe these two skills are fundamental and mutually relevant. However, when one is practiced without consciously searching for its creative connection to the other, the actual benefit is difficult to sense and experience.
Virtuosity and skill emerge when the line between imagination and reality begins to soften. At that point, solo dance and partner dance become inseparable. This inseparability leads to questioning communication and dialogue, opening a field with endless developments and wide potential.
Within this practice, we explore how we read space, the other body, and the space of the other body. This does not necessarily require changing the shapes or forms created by one’s own body, but rather refining perception and response.
Dancing with another person is a constant acknowledgment of the unknown. This is not an abstract or spiritual idea, but a technical and concrete understanding of partnering and collaboration through movement. No matter how developed one’s technique is, space must always be left to re-evaluate the situation and listen to the needs and intentions of the other moving body.
We believe that practicing this approach creates the conditions to apply technique appropriately and, at times, to propose new ideas that have not yet been explored.
