The SKIPPING practice
May - July 2017
After the completion of "The Idle Wish", my interest focused on the action of skipping.
A movement that was emerging in my previous works but I never spend time to look closely. Looking forward to my graduation work in March 2018, I have already started with the research on the practice of continuous skipping. Two sketch performances took place in June at SNDO Friday Afternoon with Ahmed El Ghendy and at Centre National de la Danse in Paris, during Camping, with Andreas Haglund. A small open workshop on skipping happened as well during the Camping meeting. You can watch both try-outs at the Sketches page.
