Ferrum
Ferrum is a playful experiment with the boundaries of the two dancers’ physicalities. Starting out with nothing but good faith that something pure will unfold, choreographer Itamar Serussi Sahar hopes to give a sense of the fun, magic, excitement and curiosity that is often hidden in the rehearsal studio.
Musician Richard van Kruysdijk created a five-part composition especially for Ferrum that gives free rein to dancers Connor Schumacher and Milena Twiehaus. The two have worked together before and relished the degree to which they were allowed to improvise within choreography which they describe as raw, powerful yet full of dry wit.
Israeli choreographer Itamar Serussi Sahar stretches the physical opportunities of his dancers by using humour, improvisation and experimenting with unusual compository laws.
Public in Private
Directing every music and lighting cue whilst balancing a glass of water on the back of his neck, Clément Layes’ remarkable solo strives to make sense of everything that looks arbitrary, forcing meaning into order.
Although Allege premiered in 2002, Layes believes that the work is not quite finished. “I think I have at least one year to go, then I’ll see; maybe I’ll leave things alone.”
Clément Layes studied circus skills, art and philosophy before turning to dance. He has worked with Boris Charmatz, Hubert Godard, Jean Luc Moulène, Vera Montero, Claude Espinassier, Steve Paxton and Joseph Nadj.
