La mesure du désordre

LaBolsa
Cecilia Colacrai, Iris Heitzinger, Anna Rubirola, Xavi Moreno, Federica Porello and Natalia Jiménez have been meeting in various workshops and projects. In those encounters they could identify common interests regarding movement, research and the development of performative languages. What unites them is an investigation of movement based on scores which create concrete and elaborate frames at the same time as they give way to the performer’s capacity to apply his or her creative intuition when they encounter the public on stage.

The meeting
In August 2012 they all participate in the workshop of Thomas Hauert and get fascinated by his language possibilities. It is then that they find the way to link their interests through the language built by the choreographer. In this moment, given the will of Thomas to engage in directing a creation process with them, they start organizing themselves to make ithappen.

zoom in, zoom out
The measure of disorder is a dance piece which gives protagonism to the body and the mind and its complex capacities of alertness, flexibility and adaptation, while continuously generating new situations in real time. A piece which puts on stage an invented organism, which, just like society and biological systems, reorganises and reinvents itself constantly, nurturing itself from all individual initiatives. In order to show this we part from the basic concept: “zoom in – zoom out”, which is reproduced on all different levels of the project: in its formation, considering the coming together of individual artists. We find the zoom-in in the individual and the zoom-out in the totality of the group which forms an identity in itself. In the methodology, it’s being a collaborative one, which gives rise to an artistic process in form of a dialogue, without directionality, continuously passing from the individual to diverse group constellations. In order to compose The measure of disorder, the unconscious is valued as a means of experimentation and adaptation to exterior stimulus. The work is based on scores which gives order and a necessary frame to disorder. Searching for the measure of disorder.
