Impossible actions
February 2022
IMPOSSIBLE ACTIONS aimed to test and re-imagine the limits and functions of the body and deconstruct (un)conscious habits of movement.
IMPOSSIBLE ACTIONS was activated by 8 local professional dancers in Trondheim after a week-long movement research practice at DansiT, based on the structure and concepts of the physical solo NUTRICULA (Shanghai, 2015).
The score went for about an hour and proposed seven challenging physical tasks that the performers interpreted and modified according to their bodies and biographies. The tasks broke down habits of movement, test limits and re-invent the possibilities of the human body.
The piece had a durational open ending that the group calls “Echo” where the performers were free to abandon the concept, seek connection with each other and go back to themselves within simple parameters.
IMPOSSIBLE ACTIONS was shown Friday 11th and Saturday 12th of February 2022 read more about the performance here.
