It
It (reformance) is the place in-between, it includes the observer, the listener and the invisible.
It is both inside and outside. It can start from any point.
It is spatial and unfolds in multiple dimensions, it is not an object. It may not be in one place.
It exists in the potential, where premeditated actions are lacking, it is not possible to avoid it.
It includes divergent singularities and collective becoming. It is uncontrollable.
What happens or doesn’t happen in It have the same value.
It relies on emptiness and on spoken instruments, hints, resistances that start from the dark.
And from the darkness more or less visible relationships emerge, that are continuously modified by whoever is there, as long as the gaze is kept on the totality and at the same time on the detail(s).
Tempos, sounds and artificial instruments are a counterpoint to the vastness and support the specificity of imperceptible and dizzying movements.
A blanket delimits the space and gently questions its dimensions, there is a constant repositioning of perspectives and roles and the use of a linguistic device on paper as a sensory intonation tool (makesense).
Roberta Mosca, Italian choreographer, dance artist and performer, studied and worked at the School of Dance Teatro alla Scala Milan, John Skull Schule Stuttgart, Vienna State Opera, Leipzig Opera, Aterballetto, Maggio Fiorentino, and danced for many years with the Frankfurt Ballet and The Forsythe Company. She has collaborated with international artists and dance groups including MAMAZA, mk, espz, KLm, Laurent Chétouane, Chris Newman, Yannis Mandafounis, Fabrice Mazliah, Martin Schick, and Canedicoda. Together with other former dancers of The Forsythe Company interested in the vital interrelation of human thought and action, in 2016 she co-founded HOOD, a platform for creative exchange born of a need for a cohesive artistic community. Since 2003 she has been curating in Valle Cervo in the mountains of Biella, along with Cora Bos Kroese, Biarteca interdisciplinary festival. In 2015 in Valle Cervo, she opened the independent space AUTOBAHN – WILLIAM WILLHELM CAFFEE – DALLAS, as a crossway of possibilities between local economy and open creativity. Her work has been presented internationally.
