Two characters explore different relationships between movement and words, creating a surreal blend of fiction and the ordinary as they discover what’s next.

Story Lines is a dance work that blends movement and text, shifting between the ordinary and the surreal by means of rhythm. The work presents two individuals moving through different loops of material. As if caught in time, they travel in endless circles going back to situations already visited. The rhythmic patterns create a playful platform for them to develop absurd strings of events.

Choreography and text: Eva Recacha

Performers: Antonio de la Fe and Lola Maury

Figurines

How do you stage a dead body, a monk, a porn star, a basketball celebrity, a Walt Disney monster, a first lady, a conductor, a grandma with Parkinsons, the Virgin Mary, Mr Muscle and the Statue of Liberty in the same piece through one lone performer?

This could have been a starting point for Figurines. But as the audience enters the performing space they only see a curled up body resting on a bare stage. At first simply stating its presence in the space, this body is about to set off on a journey of transformation and becoming by shaping and re-shaping itself continuously.  You are invited to witness a dancer meander, swirl and wobble through a never-ending flow of representations, to be lead on a meditative ride where images emerge, fuse and disappear relentlessly.

Figurines is the staging of a research that initially set out to manipulate and explore the inescapable tension existing between the audience’s understanding of a performer’s representation and their perception of her presence. Exploiting the body as a raw material endlessly molded into series of images, the work slowly reveals the relationship between objectification and viscerality.

Direction: Lola Maury

Performance: Aurea Romero Alvarez

Sound Composition: Alberto Ruiz Soler

“Figurines” trailer – Lola Maury from lola maury on Vimeo.

The equilibrist is a dance monologue dedicated to the time of waiting… to the time before starting.

…An acrobat prepares for performance. Tries to balance and to hold himself up before walking on the rope. Always facing the danger of falling -  of a small death.

A metaphor about man in front of something bigger than him, of something that one cannot control or predict, in front of a tight spot which only by traversing it one will find out whether he is able do it or not.

The performance is part of the 10th Festival of Choreographers (with the support of  the Minister of Culture and Tourism) and participates in the festival as an Independent Performance

Lola will be performing over ten nights in the Place Prize Finals 2011 in “Begin to Begin: A piece about dead ends”, a work by Eva Recacha. Performances: 6th – 16th April at the Robin Howard Dance Theatre, 17 Dukes’s Road London WC1H 9PY. Information about the Place Prize and booking:  02071211100 - www.theplaceprize.com

Begin to begin: A piece about dead ends

The piece has at its centre the theme of dying. Taking the nursery rhyme Michael Finnegan and putting it in motion, three dancers enact a playfully defiant death ritual, where the idea of mortality is both profound yet unfrightening.
