How can eight, very different dance solos lead to a collective choreography?
How does a creative process change when investing in togetherness
and co-existence? What constitutes a team? These are the questions raised
by this performance serving as a sequel to the Ancient Future Solo dance
workshop for adolescents held by the Festival during the winter season,
as part of the Open Plan initiative. The eight teenage participants delved
into Sophocles’ Antigone and Euripides’ Helen in the first nine workshop
meetings, drawing on their personal aesthetics and following the rules
dictating the creation of an individual work. They will now work together
to create a collective original work, incorporating their idiosyncratic solos
into the end result.
