Rosas Repertory
The work is based on the TRIO dance piece which is part of the show called " DESH".

The choreographic writing of the trio is really close to the musical composition, which is a strong aspect of the universe of Anne Theresa de Keersmaeker. As well, AT de Keermaeker’s work contains the use of structure, a kind of grammar. I propose to explore the structure of choreographic composition as a concrete way of building dance, of seeing choreography as a whole in relation to appropriate laws and a pre-defined ground-plan. Though structure constrains, it also liberates, conferring autonomy and capability, liberty and rigor to the dancer and dance maker. Also it generates activity, within a group or within the individual artist, linking time, music, silence, space, others who are present, helping create a work of art with the flavor of live performance!
Here, Indian music has a particular relationship with the rythm.
We will learn the piece with movement or writing adaptation.
