This year’s Blurred Borders festival features …
• COMPANY DRIFT, SWITZERLAND
This Swiss dance theatre group likes to examine the absurdities of everyday life. Artistic directors Beatrice Jaccard and Peter Schelling have worked together since 1987 and have been presented twice before in past Blurred Borders festivals. They have received the Swiss Award for Dance and Choreography 2007 for their complete works. The company is also well-represented on the international scene, having presented their work in over 31 countries. They are among the best that the Swiss dance scene has to offer. For this performance they are presenting their well-received “Black Peter.” Company Drift’s new project is music, it’s movement, and it’s scientific tests. It is also poetic, cynical, electronic, pneumatic, cybernetic, dramatic, chaotic/romantic, all with a trace of hysteria. more…
• BACKGROUND PROJECT, SAN DIEGO
“Untitled; Center of the Universe” is a work created by Alicia Peterson Baskel and Omar Ramos. Merging movement and sound, the work examines the central point of perception created by individual consciousness. It asks: “What if we were each the center of our own universe—and if that were a socially acceptable focus?” Through the integration of dance and live manipulation of sound and text using computer software, the onstage performers create a world that is deeply personal, yet universal. more…
• PATRICIA RINCON DANCE COLLECTIVE, SAN DIEGO
“BODYPARTS” is a premiere work exploring the scientific, human, and social perceptions of people’s skin and body systems. Created in collaboration with video artists Natalia Valerdi and dancers Keely Campbell, Kenna Crouch, Sarah Garcia, Sarah Larson, and Sammy Mitchell with music by Rechenzentrum.
“Blurred Borders Dance Festival is about much more than movement.”
