About the work-in-progress “How a spiral works”
“How a spiral works” is a live contemporary circus performance using aerial rope and a dance. Two performers, one from each discipline, explore to see how their worlds merge.
A relationship between falling, flying, and catching yourself. Ground and air collaborating in order to find the tether that connects them. There’s a longing for each to find a meeting point, but such a point is difficult when you inhabit different spaces. Two broken pieces adding up to one. Each is trying to break their individual obstacles that hold them back, helping each other reach past the stopping point.
The research tries to find new ways of representing contemporary circus, stretching the boundaries of it, uniting with dance and digital arts. Searching for new perspectives and innovative applications while still maintaining the beauty of simplicity.
