Elena Giannotti: “Rider in Arena - A history of contingency”
24.10.2013 I 11 am-1:00 pm keynote and discussion
Rider in Arena
A history of contingency
Rider in Arena is the title of a series of solos and also a personal history of practicing ‘making dance’.
My experience of practice can be narrated through anecdotes and storytelling, recalling a personal story, where a natural attitude to isolation and a recondite approach to dance is also contaminated by the crowd.
Rider in Arena is also a jump into future. The work is not finished yet: the capacity of imagination and dreaming is a primary tool for me to diverge creation from conceptual thinking.
