[80 MIN DANCE PERFORMANCE OF 15 GROUP SCENES]
10 meetings |30 hours|15 creators|15 group pieces|4 presentations
80 min dance performance presenting 15 semi-structured group pieces co-created and performed by the participants of the workshop, following the proposed research methodology and the artistic advice of the two moderators (Sofia Kondylia / dance & architecture, Pantelis Ntzialas / music). At this stage, the research intended to explore the collaboration of architects, dancers and musicians in performance making, attempting a kinesthetic combination of Architecture, Dance and Music during the process. The 3rd cycle reflects on the outcomes of the 2nd, by deploying again and developing some methods previously proposed and proposing new experiential material and making practices and interdisciplinary methods as well.
Moreover, the 3rd cycle investigates the dramaturgies of horizontal collaboration in artistic making and the social body of such a collaboration during the presentation of the work, hence the title.
