”Migration” is a performative exercise, a journey, which undergoes the fascination of that miraculous journey that is the migration of animals and which has its roots in the practice of Pablo Girolami. The group of dancers is guided, through a series of “tasks”, to move in space, to migrate, not only with the aim of traveling to a more fertile land, but also to strengthen the bonds in the community in which they live.
“Migration” is based around the concepts of:
“Follow the leader – Lead the follower” / “Take – Give inspiration”.
The dancers are equipped with earphones/monitors and receive instructions from an off- stage director (Pablo Girolami) who will converse with them via a private audio channel leading them to a spontaneous choreographic composition (with a spontaneous musical playlist) based on a coded system centered on a basic walk, a concatenation of short choreographic phrases and a succession of orders/suggestions aimed at creating bonds, contrasts, synchronicities and connections.
The exercise becomes performance, the journey begins and the community is strengthened.
Note:
This work can be commissioned & performed by other dance companies and groups. Pablo Girolami can work with the group of dancers for a minimum of one week in the studio before performing the piece live.
With the support of the Camera di Commerce Porderone – Udine
