About
A dance performance by choreographer Tilman O'Donnell.
Meet a cast of eight dancers from Skånes Dansteter in a creation by choreographer Tilman O'Donnell.
The View From Here presents us with a community of dancers entangled with and defining procedures of change – corporeal, spatial, and temporal. The work is based on entrances and exits and the sounds bodies make. Moving with and between utilitarian rehearsal wings (the simplest of theater technologies) the performers cover and reveal, refract and defer.
The work presupposes that what constitutes us as human subjects most vibrantly are the thresholds and transitions of our lives, and not a fixed notion of self and other. In dancing the periphery to center stage, a distinct musicality and timing is produced, captured by microphone and mixed in real time into rhythm and melody.
In playing the spatial and sonic rhythms of the margins, The View From Here opens a fractal dialogue between what we hear, how we see, and where we locate ourselves in the continual movement in, out, and between transitory states.
