Time for Time by compagnie Marie Chouinard
One by one, audience members tell dancers a wish to be interpreted through movement
Concept by Marie Chouinard
Dancers (alternating) | Michael Baboolal, Adrian W.S Batts, Jossua Collin Dufour, Valeria Galluccio, Motrya Kozbur, Luigi Luna, Sayer Mansfield, Celeste Robbins, Carol Prieur and other guest dancers
Live participatory performance on Zoom / World premiere on September 17, 2020
The COMPAGNIE MARIE CHOUINARD is pleased to present a dance performance event that resonates with the existential questions that inundate our lives. Over three days, according to schedules adapted to audiences all over the world, the dancers of the Compagnie Marie Chouinard take turns interacting with the audience via Zoom.
These spontaneous dance performances take their inspiration from a heartfelt wish that a member of the audience confides to a performer. In response to this desire, this first step, the dancer plays the role of medium between the forces of life and the unconscious mind of the person who has made the wish, initiating a flow of energy, a movement towards a possible enactment of change. After performing this kind of incantatory dance, reminiscent of the Pythia in ancient Greece, performers take time to regenerate their bodies and minds before undertaking a new performance.
The performer “replies” to each wish expressed with a solo dance which lasts for approximately tree minutes. On each of the three days, members of the audience are able to view all the dances and all the sharing of wishes.
