We meet three creators who articulate the dramaturgy of their pieces through powerful personal images. This low-tech texture permeates their creations and extends to devices that grow in complexity and semantic importance as we explore their work, where the screen can become a stage or iconographic source. The spectator, apart from looking, feels that these artists observe them with the eyes of our times.

Break

The people participating in this table have a connection to dance dramaturgies from a multiple function or position (performer-dancer-dramaturge-choreographer-director-writer); also from a certain infidelity to delimited disciplines or artistic styles (they shift between dance, theatre, cinema, literature or performance). They consider the ideas of authorship and poetry, or the discourses of dance dramaturgies, from a fruitful space; in the end, they suggest that we explore the synergies, pairings or pollinations that are observed — or sought out — in the coexistence between dance and dramaturgies. And also, while acknowledging their mutant and situational character, in the dialogues, processes, methodologies, poetics, structures or writings tailored by and for the body.

Lunch break

We propose a conversation based on the main questions, motivations and desires that emerge from the training in Choreography at the Institut del Teatre. Through these first practices, we are continually reworking a personal way of conceiving dance dramaturgy in order to define and establish a way of approaching the creative process that responds to the specific needs of each choreographer. We will endeavour, through dialogue, to detect the constants in the speakers’ creations, and look at the coincidences and differences in their dramaturgical practices.
