"A LINE, A GAZE, A HORIZON": Dance Performance by Alexandra Waierstall

Alexandra Waierstall presents her dance performance entitled, A line, A gaze, A horizon at the Rialto Theatre in Limassol, in a double performance on Wednesday, 21 September (19:00 & 21:00) and in Paphos, at Markideio Theatre, on Friday, 23 September, at 20:30. On Thursday, 22 September, the choreographer will deliver a workshop at Dancehouse Lefkosia (12:00 - 14:00). During the workshop, Waierstall will talk about the creative process of her work, and she will discuss the relationship between body movement and camera movement on stage.  

If live art is not excluded from the mediated but is part of the other, what is the intermediate space that develops?

In her new work in progress, the choreographer Alexandra Waierstall investigates in form and content the recent experience of creating dance under conditions of lockdown and social distancing. However, she extends her discourse to questions concerning art itself today, to the dialogue that is created between the living and the mediated art, the art that reaches the viewer through the mediation of a screen.How does the present body exist on stage and how does it function when it is projected on the screen?
