The Untitled Still Life Collection

Spanning

Choreograaf Trajal Harrell en beeldhouwster Sarah Sze experimenteren samen, hij met bewegingen, zij met het gebruik van materialen. Die spanning tussen performers, materiaal en ruimte is de essentie van The Untitled Still Life Collection. Het beeld is geen ‘decor’ voor de dans, maar het sculpturale en het choreografische grijpen op elkaar in en veranderen elkaar, wat nieuwe, onvermoede mogelijkheden creëert.

• De New-Yorkse danser en choreograaf Trajal Harrell was o.a. in residentie bij Workspacebrussels. Dit seizoen presenteren we ook zijn (M)imosa - Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at The Judson Church (M), dat ook te zien was in het Festival van Avignon. Sarah Sze zal de VS vertegenwoordigen op de Biënnale van Venetië in 2013.
