Anna Konjetzky
Move, Morph, and More

How do we use movement as a language for communication and play? How do we read other people’s movements, their condition and their feelings? How does sound affect our body, our perception and sensing of ourselves? These are questions we explore in the interactive performance ‘Move, Morph and More’.

In the beginning, the two dancers create their own soundtrack for a voyage through different situations and characters. Together with a musician and by the help of microphones and special effects, they share their fascination of body and sound as instruments. They explore new sensations, new identities and give life to invisible worlds in the dance space.

Little by little, the performance opens for you to participate in a playful and interactive exploration. At last, all participants are ‘morphed’ together into a big, diverse sound movement.
