INTUNITION
2012
From intuition to sensation
to movement to creation
to trusting the now
as the only way to humanly be
In the piece, the dancers daring to enter unknown territory use intuition as their only guide to create movement on the spot. Their bodies on stage do not represent any truth other than what is witnessed and experienced there and then. IntuNition is a way that breaks away from a traditional contemporary dance aesthetic, taking the spectator to a world where energy becomes more powerful than form.
The dancers’ actions and the spectators’ presence are all part of the same movement ritual; they are the embodied performance experience. In other words, the work proposes a journey that allows one to lose oneself in time and place in order to be revealed again, aware, awake, and at the core of one’s truth. IntuNition is the third of a series of works with research on how repetition can stimulate a kinesthetic response.
