WARPING SOUL
To “warp” is to bend or turn from the direction or course.
In Star Trek, for example, starships enter warp to travel. In this show, that is inspired by the practice of continuous skipping, the dancers emerge within a space that is constantly in transit. In the mercy of external forces, they move within movement.
Through the disorientation and organisation of bodies and space, movement becomes a dance of potential transformations and narratives.
Warping Soul is part of DANSLOKAAL 8, an initiative of Conny Janssen Danst, in collaboration with Dansateliers Rotterdam and Korzo Den Haag. For more info: DANSLOKAAL 8
