Karline Marion
Tanz Performance Serie # 25
After having danced numerous pieces together for the Lyon Opera Ballet, Karline Marion and Simon Feltz decided to create their first work as a duo. This mutual desire of research/conception became a logical continuation of the path that bonded the two dancers. To understand and to adapt to one another takes on a deeper dimension when it comes to movement writing. After much research, reflection and many improvisations, the two artists were able to ascertain a common thread and a logical structure that could progress, change and evolve and therefore remain relevant. In "Phase", there is a quality of listening which is absolutely necessary to the evolution of the piece and essential to the relationship that links the two dancers. This awareness is the pillar of this creation, a solid point to lean on. Without it, sharing is impossible. Writing as a pair is to grasp the differences of one another and use it as a tool so that what emerges is not a single identity but one that is multifaceted. A relationship evolves between two people and a first pattern is drawn into the space. Different episodes reveal a structure. The elements passing through this construction contribute to the elaboration and its identity. Images resurge and the primary conception transforms but never vanishes and is always present. Phase leaves a trail of breadcrumbs that ceaselessly brings us back to its origins.
