Fandango Reloaded

Fandango es construeix com una investigació arqueològica en la qual la dansa és l'activadora d'una experiència ritual comuna. Proposem un procés de recuperació i reescriptura en el qual imaginem com és aquesta dansa hui i que possibilitats hi ha de retornar-la al carrer. Una exploració de les danses populars com a mecanisme de col·lectivitat i comunitat. Una posada en comú de vocabularis com el de la dansa tradicional i les danses urbanes en un exercici de rematerialització de la memòria.

Double Shift

Aquest projecte proposa una una investigació entre els llenguatges de la dansa contemporània, el breaking i l'escriptura musical.

A partir del concepte del thread o nus, característic del breaking iniciem una recerca de moviment que es tradueix tant al moviment dels ballarins com al de la violoncel·lista.

Aqueste treball ha comptat amb el suport del Festival Hop Dansa i Cultura Urbana de Barcelona amb una residència curta en el Centre Cívic de la Barceloneta i també al programa de Residencies Artistiques de Joventut 2022 de l'Ajuntament de València i Residencies Artistiques d’Acció Cultural 2022 a La Mutant.

Battleground

This piece raises the question of how two bodies can share a battlefield without being physically in the same place. The artists bring the separation of bodies imposed by the health crisis to the same space. Each person lives and moves in their own virtual space, but they share the same room. For their conceptualization, they start from the premises that Doel and Clarke established on virtual reality in 2005, which they understood as the final resolution of a world full of imperfections. Virtual technology allows us to fulfill the dream of updating time and space at our whim, being/fighting together despite being each in our separate setting.

Idea, creation, and choreography: Inka Romaní and Julia Zac 

Music: Martí Guillem.

Costume: Paloma Wool

Photography and video: Vindio Blanco.

This performance has been produced thanks to the residency program for young people from Ayuntamiento de Valencia (Valencia City Council) as well as the funds for artistic productions by Ayuntamiento de Valencia (Valencia City Council) and Instituto Valenciano De Cultura (Valencian Institute for Culture) and the creation residency program from Centre Civic de la Barceloneta (Barcelona).

Serie de Apariciones

Serie de Apariciones (Series of Appearances) was created during the first lockdown period in Spain in April 2020. It is an audiovisual performative essay inspired by the idea of DIY (Do It Yourself) and tutorial as recurring formats in our personal and artistic practices. The idea of  explaining how to do something adds to the intention of the person creating that content and, at the same time, takes us to a place of generosity and self-centeredness.

 This piece is inspired by the creation of juxtaposed meanings between the image and the word. In his work Ways of Seeing, John Berger explains that "the relationship between what we see and what we know is never established." In this same work, he refers to the painting The Keys of Dreams by the surrealist painter Magritte which comments on this gap between words and what we see.

Idea, creation, and choreography: Inka Romaní Escrivá and Julia Zac 

This piece was awarded by the program Cultura Online from Centro del Carmen de Cultura Contemporánea (Carmen Center of Contemporary Culture) in Valencia, Spain. 

This performance has been produced thanks to the following residency programs: Residencies Artistiques en centres de Joventut (Artistic Residencies in Youth Centers), Ayuntamiento de Valencia (Valencia City Council), and Centre Civic de La Barceloneta (Barceloneta Civic Center).

Outdated

Outdated is a performance that, based on the concept of archeology, approaches movement by opening up questions such as “Can we assign a date to movement?” “Can we talk about the dance of the ‘now’?” and “Can we fictionalize a future dance?”

In the space created by these questions, a dialogue is established between movement, voice, space, time, gestures, and history.

This piece was awarded at Me, Myself & I 2019 within the 33rd Choreographic Contest in Madrid.

Performers: Inka Romaní, Virgina Roig, and Alba Murcia

Re-Bish

SITE-SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE

“What is damaged and dangerous, according to the modes and context, can also be what is cool and exotic.

By deconstructing binary beauty and redesigning gender limits, we reinvent ourselves.”

Re-bish is a scenic creature in transmutation, in creation, for unconventional spaces. It is a performance that brings together dance, theater, fashion, visual arts, technology, and music.

Humor is a fundamental tool for inviting the public to deepen the themes we are dealing with. This allows us to delve into these questions in a critical way by addressing taboo themes that, without the tone of humor, would be difficult to touch upon, such as sensuality, gender, strength, and beauty canons.

Concept and performance: REBISH Collective - Lucia Soto, Julia Zac, and Inka Romani

Original music by Esther Anselm

Produced by REBISH Collective

Premiered at Festival Russafa Escènica (Russafa Escènica Festival) 2017 in Valencia (Spain)

The A to Z of Dance: Live

A SITE-SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE

Spot the dancers demonstrating different styles, moves, and ideas about dance following an A to Z of key dance words. This is a chance to meet and talk to professional dancers about what they do and ask those burning questions.

Commissioned by artistic programmer Eva Martinez, this “live” version of an A to Z of dance casts five dancers from different styles—contemporary, ballet, flamenco, South Asian dance, and hip-hop—who were interpreting the concepts and interacting with the audience in the different spaces of the theatre hallway. The objective of this site-specific performance was to bring dance to unfamiliar audiences and reinforce the connection between performers and audience members.

The A to Z of Dance: Live premiered as a part of Sadler’s Sampled Festival at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in 2016 and revisited in 2017.

Commissioned by Sadler’s Wells for Sadler’s Wells Sampled 2016

Curated by Inka Romani Escriva and created in collaboration with Makiko Aoyama, Magdalena Mannion, Dickson Mbi, and Joel O'Donoghue

Based on The A to Z of Dance (2013) written by Lyndsey Winship
