Me - every body, volume 2

A performance in six sequences

 

The work is based on the structure of movement and the body’s simple complexity. Our thoughts, motions, meetings and life in general would not take place if we weren’t built after the present structure. Six stand-alone sequences (no. 10–15) performed by seven dancers, who with several sets of movements at their disposal create individual combinations. The group dynamic complicates the structure further. As in Me – every body, volume 1 with its nine sequences (no. 1–9), the work has been an interactive process where sound artists have made (sound)recordings of the movements of the dancers, and worked with the image and motion models from the different sequences. Layer upon layer, the six sequences have been merged together with the especially composed sound works, light and form.

 

 

“One way to think of the body is as an architectural structure that houses an entire life. And since our lives are not static, it’s only natural that our bodies should move as well. The body in motion then becomes a performer that tells the story of a person’s life in real time. A series of performances conceived over a period of seven years by Olof Persson explored the relationship between body and movement in space and time.”
