UNTIL IT LIVES IN THE MUSCLE

2017

In Until it lives in the muscle a series of wooden platforms with abstract shapes are combined on the ground, forming different compositions. The forms of the platforms are based on the dance notation system created by Rudolf von Laban and each one corresponds to a different quality of movement. Three dancers performed a series of improvisation exercises on the platforms, decoding in real time the guidelines set by the symbology of the pieces. The relationship between the performers and the forms on the ground, which are simultaneously stage and score, evokes the dynamics of board games.
