A performance in the form of an event
for both dancers and non-dancers

Martha Moore

Alfred ve dvoře Theatre
29. 11. 2012, 8.00 pm

The 1970s in the USA are connected with the advent of Post Modern Dance. This era brings up a curious question “What is a contemporary performance in our society?” If we ask this very question today, in the Czech Republic, we will hear answers that reveal a lot about the present state of things in the country. The project will work with a special form of a performance, that of an ‘event’.
The structure of the „event“ was worked out in the Czech Republic by Martha Moore and a group of selected professional artists. For the purpose of the festival they have invited a few more performers - non-dancers and have together created a unique „event“ just for this night!

What are the gestures of everyday movement and the gestures of dance?
What is the role and the place of the performer in the creative process of a production?
  • Concept: Martha Moore in cooperation with performers:
  • Zdenka Brungot Svíteková, Eleonora Folegnani, Iris Heurtaux, Bára Látalová, Pedro Prazeres a Anka Sedláčková and other non-dancers
  • Performance Length: 35–50 min

Produced by:

  • SE.S.TA in cooperation with:
