let's form a circle (working title)
This project begins with an essential unknown: a group of individuals, each bringing their own physicality, perspectives, and experiences, gathering in a shared studio space. Their identities, shaped by varied geographies, cultures, and relationships with movement, form a tapestry of contrasts and possibilities. It is precisely this mosaic of differences — both visible and invisible — that becomes the foundation of the creative process. The framework for the work is intentionally ambiguous: we step into the studio with only the knowledge of how we will begin and end, leaving everything in between to unfold through the act of meeting. This openness allows the process to be guided by the connections that emerge in real time, making the shared encounter the heartbeat of the creation. Through movement, we will explore themes of connection, individuality, and collective presence. The focus will be on how people navigate shared space, negotiating differences while forming something unified. Physicality, endurance, and the language of the body will guide the journey, inviting participants to discover new ways of communicating and expressing themselves. Ultimately, this creation is an inquiry into what it means to come together, to create without a script, and to let the process be shaped by the meeting of strangers. It celebrates unpredictability, adaptability, and the unifying power of movement — a work born entirely from the moments we share.
