Collaborating
The collaboration is one of the stakes of this creation.
In 2005 we have met for the first time (in Reims; and later also in Montpellier and in Vienna) and shared ideas, methods and rehearsals.
We have noticed a common curiosity – a sense of serious playfulness.
With "one shared object PROFIT AND LOSS we would like to materialize this meeting in form of a shared piece.
This collaboration will give an account of the differences between our singularities and of the echoes and affinities it can cause.
We don’t want to create a harmonic situation, but dwell in the spaces between our singularities, respecting the disagreements as much as
the agreements, making transparent the collaboration itself. The fact and the chemistry of the meeting are important to us: Complicity as
a principle for work, allowing for appropriation of each other’s approaches, and favouring sharing over dividing.
"one shared object PROFIT AND LOSS" will thus implicitly raise questions around artistic signature. What constitutes a signature?
What are the thoughts within, the desires underneath and the forms emerging? Is a certain form or style important for an artist’s identity?
Why would it be?
Our main point is: How can two chroreographic languages collide, converge, unite, communicate, and maybe even invent a third
language?
Starting point is the question of how the body is interweaved with time.
