CHOREOGRAPHING ARCHITECTURES
Premiere 18.11 Friday; Performances 19.11 Saturday + 20.11 Sunday
Deutsches Architektur Zentrum DAZ
CHOREOGRAPHING ARCHITECTURES is a choreographic research and creation project undertaken by Sasha Amaya bringing together architects and choreographers to discuss ideas around space, materiality, process, and purpose. Combining her dual background in these disciplines, Amaya enters conversations with architects and dancers: how can these two disciplines exchange with one another?
In her new choreographic study, CHOREOGRAPHING ARCHITECTURES, created and presented at the Deutsches Architektur Zentrum, Amaya takes questions and approaches from architects about space, process, and desire as a starting point for the creation of her new work.
In addition to four performances of the choreographic study, a programme of public events open to the community to explore the interstices of architecture and dance, and the acts of seeing and sensing, offer different pathways into contemplating this subject together.
