( Paz Rojo, Lucas Condro, Natalia Tencer, Cristian Duarte )
This work is based in a complex topic: the collective creative work. Lucas Condro, Natalia Tencer, Cristian Duarte, and Paz Rojo will "join together"to create a performance piece. Their implication will operate as a collaborative experiment conceived as a temporal and immediate production shaped as an encounter instead of a previously agreed "space of consensus". The basis of their work will consist on defining and re-negotiating the status of authority and authorship in terms of a plural, emergent and self-organized phenomena resulting from the negotiation and interaction of differences and circumstances that define, perturb and affect the collaborative-process.
As choreographers that make choreography and interact with each other, the project will be closely linked to the choreographic practice and the notion of movement – a notion they formulate with the following question: which is the movement of the "self"within the movement of the "our-selves"? The idea of the being in common is a key topic in the relationship of the choreographic creation proposal – which operates either horizontally and without an apparent authority, or, on the contrary with an excess of authority: how a body, made of bodies, cultivates the desire as a protocol of collective creation? And, as a consequence of that desire(s), how does the body reverse itself in the experience of "being together"or in the experience of the common? How does the scene or the theatre respond to that question? What does it mean "to be together"in a performing context where the spectator and the performer meet in apparently different territories?
'The choreography we aim to build is a body of bodies. The hypothesis we support is that, if there is no sense to have the choreography a priori (one singular director or a particular aesthetic), which attributes 'sense' to it, then we propose to start working from the idea of 'doing sense'. We understand 'doing sense' as movement, action, creation, imagination and invention in a relational field of forces operating at the same time and without a singular center. Whereas to make sense would be something of which we adapt to the language we identify with. With doing sense, we propose to participate with and in space, place, object, dance or body of another, relating that with the fact that, what is in contact with us is ultimately a sensible extension of our bodies, and as such, operating onto, against, with, towards our bodies. Multiplying senses by producing them, we aim to create a delirium of images suspended in time before they can be given meaning.'
