How do we respond to communicative impulses of our counterpart? When do we agree? When not? What options do we select? How do we generate relationship, trust, distance, proximity and connection?
In the performance REAL TIME four dancers* meet on a black board. They embark on a sculpturally performative search for coherent positions to each other and thus allow the intensity of decisions to become visible in a physical dialogue. Through macro and micro movements, an attempt is made to create a lively relationship to one another. What remains is an abstract after-image of the forms of encounter as a white chalkdrawing; a reference to the spatial kinetics of bodies in dialogue.
