Nicola Conibere (UK): Assembly
Assembly, a quiet investigation of how other people can appear to us, presents dance as a medium of meeting and exchange. It acknowledges each spectator’s unique presence without asking them to do more than watch; each time a spectator enters the space a performer will join the performance, leaving it when the same spectator departs the room. These groupings of constant variation ensure there are always as many people presenting as viewing. Performers appear in a range of simple formations as the work explores how our regard for each other can be made visible. This edition of Assembly will be performed by a group of local teenagers. The work is realized in co-operation with Regional Dance Center of Eastern Finland.
Number of audience is limited, and the audience will be let in in the order of arrival. No bookings.
