danske 3
DANSKE 3, IMPACT, began with the initial and ongoing question, “How many layers does the psyche have, how many fathoms deep does the memory lie?” and the possibility to ignite and share this through a research platform. IMPACT is about the many underlying layers of human existence, physically, mentally and emotionally. The result of that first meeting is the current process together with a group of two interns and seven dancers questioning the body as a communicative vessel. Is it time uninterrupted ? Only the present comprehended ? We search for the close-up. We search of the observation of others Attempting to. Through the process of time…we are observing the impact of the other…!
