O predstavi
Delimo si ritem. Imamo namen. Iščemo smisel. Ustvarjamo gibanje, ki govori o tem iskanju. Uporabljamo ponovitve. Spreminjamo se. Kaj je torej gesta?
Zaradi izjemnih okoliščin med procesom ustvarjanja je predstava ZAČASNO PORAVNANA TELESA nastajala na daljavo, s spletnimi sestanki in videokonferencami. Naša metodologija je vključevala razmišljanje o ter preučevanje izbranih umetniških materialov, običajne fizične naloge, povratne informacije in evalvacijo. Osnove so se razvijale naravno, pri čemer so nastajale posamezne gibalne partiture ter jasni obrisi identitete predstave. Naključje, svobodna volja in avtonomija, s ciljem odkrivanja resnično novih teritorijev.
Spodaj je nekaj razmišljanj in opažanj plesalk in plesalca: Alje, Eme, Lare, Luke, Patricije in Julije.
»Gesta vsebuje nekaj neizogibnega, in to je gibanje.«
»Izvedi partituro z zaprtimi očmi. Geste postanejo nekoliko manjše, a so še naprej stabilne. Izgubi se v ponavljanju.«
»Skrivanje in razkrivanje. Rada bi se več igrala. Rada bi, da bi imela elastičnost mehkih tkiv večjo vlogo. Kako v geste vnesti več zaobljenosti, če je njihov izvor geometrijski?«
»Najbolj nenavaden, najobčutljivejši del telesa.«
»Lepo se je bilo vrniti k osnovam. Intenzivnost mišic in celotne telesne zgradbe, tako rekoč samega skeleta. Želela sem razumeti pomene določenih poz. Jutri bom morda nanje gledala s povsem druge perspektive.«
»Ni napak, samo drobne vesele nezgode.«
»Zdi se, kot da se zadnji del vratu dvigne in pade na roko. Čeljustni pogovor.«
»Veličastno vznemirjenje.«
»Gibanje, stalno pogajanje in odločanje. Taljenje, zapreti oči, odpreti nogo, sprostiti čeljust, ustvariti prostor za prste, projekcija celotne figure, sprostitev.«
»Preobrazba, prilagoditi se.«
About the performance
We are sharing a beat. We have a purpose. We are searching for meaning. We are creating movement that speaks about this search. We use repetition. We change. So what is a gesture?
Due to the unique circumstances during the creation process, REALIGNMENTS unfolded at a distance, using online meetings and video interactions. Our methodology involved reflecting on and studying selected art materials, common physical tasks, feedback and review. The fundamentals evolved naturally, generating individual scores of movement and a clear path for the identity of the work. Chance, free will and self-determination, with the aim of touching on genuinely unexplored territory.
Below are some reflections and notes from the dancers: Alja, Ema, Lara, Luka, Patricija and Julija.
“There is something unavoidable in a gesture, and it is movement.”
“Run a score with closed eyes. Gestures become a bit smaller, but they stay solid. Get lost in repetition.”
“Hiding and exposing. I would like to play more. I would like to invite the elasticity of soft tissues to play a bigger role. How to bring more curves into the gestures when their origin is geometrical?”
“The strangest, most sensible part of the body.”
“It was a nice thing to come back to the basics. The intensity of the muscles and the whole body structure, the skeleton itself, so to speak. I wanted to understand the meanings of certain poses. Tomorrow, I might look at them from an entirely different perspective.”
“No mistakes, just happy little accidents.”
“Feels as if the back of the neck is lifted and dropped on the hand. Jaw conversation.”
“Gloriously agitated.”
“Moving, constant negotiation and decision making. Melting, to close the eyes, to open the leg, to relax the jaw, to create the space for fingers, to project the whole figure, to release.”
“Transformation, to readjust.”
O avtorici
BLANCA ARRIETA (rojena leta 1970 v Vitoriji) je koreografinja in plesalka, ki je sodelovala pri številnih sodobnih uprizoritvenih projektih. Usposabljala se je na londonski šoli za sodobni ples (London Contemporary Dance School / The Place). Leta 2000, potem ko je kot samostojna performerka sodelovala s številnimi koreografi in plesnimi organizacijami v Španiji, Angliji in na Irskem, je začela s samostojnim koreografskim izrazom – v začetku z intenzivnim osredotočanjem izključno na gibanje. V tem obdobju je ustvarila naslednja dela: Vertigo (2000), Zero (2001) in 3600 (2003). Svojo umetnost je dodatno izpopolnjevala z deli, kot so Memoria (2005), Efecto Mariposa (2006), Rest (v koprodukciji z El Mercat de les Flors iz Barcelone, 2007), En la ciudad de los ángeles (2008), Muda (2008), Chalada (2009) in Frágil (v koprodukciji z Agora de la Danse and Montréal Danse, Kanada, 2010). Posledica tega ustvarjalnega procesa je njen izrazito izoblikovan ustvarjalni značaj in osebnost. V zadnjih letih združuje lastne kreacije – Argh! (2014), Sujetos (2015), Despacio (2016) Una serie de aproximaciones sucesivas (2018) in Puzzling (2018) – z različnimi sodelovanji z namenom nadaljnjega razvoja svoje umetnosti izven lastne produkcije.
Med letoma 2016 in 2018 je bila članica koordinacijske skupine in umetniška asistentka programa Dantzan Bilaka pod vodstvom oddelka baskovske vlade za razvoj plesa. Leta 2018 je bila ena izmed rezidenčnih umetnikov programa Atalak 2.0 (Dantzaz Company), z vizualno umetnico Mabi Revuelta je sodelovala pri njenem projektu Acromatica in sodelovala v predstavi Any Table Any Room Jonathana Burrowsa in Mattea Fargiona v muzeju Artium v okviru festivala InTacto (Vitoria).
Blanca Arrieta živi v Bilbau in ustvarja zelo različne projekte, ki so bili prikazani po celotni Španiji in Evropi, pa tudi v Kanadi in ZDA.
About the author
BLANCA ARRIETA (Vitoria, 1970) is a choreographer, dancer and collaborator with numerous contemporary creations to her name. She received her training at London Contemporary Dance School / The Place. In 2000, after working as a freelance performer for several choreographers and companies throughout Spain, England and Ireland, she began to express her own choreographic voice. Initially, this was through an intense focus on movement exclusively. Works produced during this period were: Vértigo (2000), Zero (2001) and 3600 (2003). She continued refining her craft through the creations: Memoria (2005), Efecto Mariposa (2006), Rest (co-produced by El Mercat de les Flors, Barcelona in 2007), En la ciudad de los ángeles (2008), Muda (2008), Chalada (2009) and Frágil (co-produced by Agora de la Danse and Montréal Danse, Cánada, in 2010). The process of creating these pieces has resulted in an established character and personality to the work. In recent years she has combined the creation of her own: Argh! (2014), Sujetos (2015), Despacio (2016), Una serie de aproximaciones sucesivas (2018) and Puzzling (2018), with various collaborations, to further develop her craft outside of her own production.
Between 2016 and 2018 she was part of the coordination team and artistic assistant for Dantzan Bilaka, a scheme run by the Basque Government for the development of Dance. In 2018 she was one of the artists in residency of the program Atalak 2.0 of Dantzaz Company, collaborated with visual artist Mabi Revuelta on her project Acromatica and participated in the performance Any table any room of Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion at the Artium Museum, InTacto Festival (Vitoria).
Based in Bilbao, she has produced works of very varying nature that have been seen throughout Spain and Europe, and as far afield as Canada and USA.
