Invasión Danza



I would like to make a comment about this Spanish dance initiative based in Madrid. They use public spaces to perform and document choreographies of artists in the field. They have a website translated to many languages where they explain their purpose of developing new audiences for dance, and they give the opportunity to participate by sending the documentation of the performance (in public spaces, not theatres, or organiced venues) without editing, for not to be confused with a dance film or video. In fact, dance is an ephemeral art form, and nowadays, thanks to technology and network, can be seen by many, giving the opportunity to artists to show their work to a wider audience.

De hecho, la danza es una forma de arte efímera, y hoy en día, gracias a la tecnología y redes, puede ser vista por muchos, dando la oportunidad a artistas de mostrar su trabajo a una audiencia aún mayor.

Changing Polarity lyrics / letra

Dance film, part underwater; explores the swift between opposite thoughts and perceptions, metaphorically named as polarities.In a subjective way, this inner conflict conveys the idea that these thoughts/perceptions pass through a centre, a nucleus formed by a space where the soul exists, and where the belonging of these reactions to the soul are not defined. This existence doesn't convey a steady permanent state of thought or perception, but reaffirms its quality of being in a constant energy activity in between two polarities, as a constant readjustment between opposite energies; which can embody a pattern of stimulus-reaction defending an unmaterial origin.

The sound landscape is composed by a set of words and metaphors related to this idea and is played all through the video length. Is narrated in two languages, English and Spanish, and mixed with its reversed version.

The image shows the English version.


___________________________________________


Video danza, parte debajo del agua, explora la relación entre cambios de pensamientos y percepciones opuestas metafóricamente llamados polaridades. De manera subjetiva, este conflicto interno, conlleva la idea de que estos pensamientos/percepciones pasan por un centro, un núcleo formado por un espacio en el que el alma existe, y en el cual, no se define la pertenecia de estas reacciones o la materialización de estímulos al alma. Esta existencia no conlleva un estado estable permanente de pensamiento o percepción, sino que reafirma la cualidad de ésta de tener una constante actividad energética entre dos polaridades, como un constante reajuste de energías opuestas, el cual puede llegar a materializarse en estímulo-reacción y que defiende un origen inmaterial.

El sonido está compuesto de una serie de palabras y metáforas referentes a esta idea, y dura durante todo el vídeo. Está narrado en dos idiomas, español e inglés, y mezclado con la versión en orden inverso de estas palabras.

La imagen muestra la versión española.
