We enter into relationship. Form a space with our presence. We build two poles, in a reciprocity of action and reaction, generating and sustaining tension. We recognize the relevance of the simultaneity of synchronization and polarity for the perception of space.
What is space? Which spaces do we enter in everyday life? How do we align ourselves in relational space or cyber space? At what level of awareness do we choose to access interior and exterior spaces? We encourage the participants to position themselves consciously in space, to make active decisions about their presence.
How can we set boundaries and thus create spaces that exclude on the one hand and create a sense of belonging on the other? By moving through a ritual cycle, we construct a space between, in and around our bodies, with the intention of understanding the relationship between us as performers, the elements and the participants. Are we able to transfer the ritually established sense of space to the participants?
