In/scissions 2008 -- 15th-27th September

In/scissions, aurally, incision, a cut in the skin or the flesh, moment of acute perception that draws focus to internal workings, where/when there is no referent, no ‘other’ time or place but here. In-scission, the non-word read graphically, in-to separation, division, or splitting, as in fission, what makes each one one, always singular and particular, critically this and not another.

Between August 2005 and November 2006, choreographer/dancer Ana Sánchez-Colberg, artistic director of Theatre enCorps and choreographer Efva Lilja, director of ELD developed an on-going dialogue about dance through dance: about the role of memory inscribed in the body, about dance artists’ attitude towards her memory/body, and the socio-cultural parameters that circumscribe age/movement/expression within society generally and dance culture specifically. Holds no memory is the result of that dialogue, a poetic solo that draws a personal portrait in movement of a now ‘older’ dancer wanting to forget in order to be able to move on.

The project has been possible with the support of The Place Choreodrome, University College of Dance, E.L.D. Forum for New Choreographic Work for the Stage, Swedish Research Council, the Jerwood Space and Arts Council England (London).
