A glimpse into the creative processes of two Brussels choreographers

In our Performatik series we are interested not only in finished performances, but also in work in progress.

The Brussels-Norwegian Mette Edvardsen is giving three separate performances. In a new version of Time will show (detail), she shows what time means to her and how the logical sequence of cause and effect is sometimes unexpectedly turned back to front. The way/you move plays with manipulations of the performance space: here Edvardsen performs her work in the corridors and on the stairs of the Studios and examines the influence these changes have on her movements on her performance. In It could be you can see the initial stages of her first group piece, which will open in 2007.

Leslie Mannès, from Brussels, studied at PARTS and has in the meantime presented a number of her own creations. In October she performed in Delusive Figures and By-product 3. During Performatik she will favour you with a glimpse of the creative process behind a new piece called Copy/Cut/Paste.
