still- a solo piece

Choreography and dance: Anna Einemo Frøysland

Duration: 15 minutes

Music: Rafael Anton Irisarri

The solo piece is diving into the relation between the mind and the body. The movement qualities have a close connection to the emotional life, muscular tension in the soulders or the abdominals will for instance make it hard to breathe, causing perhaps irritation or anger. Light tension can make one feel ready to attack. Stillness is a kind of counterweight in the piece, making the body empty itself, reaching a zero point that perhaps do not exist.
