Point of Convergence is a choreographic experiment persisting in the excess where communication in dance and about dance oscillates between what can and what cannot be stated: insisting on choreographic means – structuring the intensity of communication’s noise – producing the specific conditions of dialogue in dance and dialogue on dance. To understand one another, it is necessary to negotiate the terms of understanding.

The authors Zrinka Užbinec and Ana Kreitmeyer implement this negotiation of the terms of understanding, an understanding that is yet to come to understanding, through a series of mutations of dance expressions. A simple initial choreography is communicated to each other through a series of dance negotiations, understandings and misunderstandings through which newly established gestures lose their meaning, and casual glances and signs of a hand become intensities that are changing the context, transforming meanings into an excess.

During this process of “rough” translation the dance expression of one is exposed to a constant and continuous dance interpretation of the other, creating a choreographic situation that is no longer located on the bodies, but between the two bodies. Attempts at negotiation, at translation, misconstructions, explanations one did not request, disagreements, an attempt at coexisting. The point of convergence is left to the spectators’ gaze where, in the illusory distance, two parallel lines intersect at infinity.

BADco. "Point of Convergence", 2010

BADco. nastavlja veliku proslavu 10 godina rada jos jednom premijerom! Nova koreografija Ane Kreitmeyer i Zrinke Užbinec!

Točka sabiranja

praizvedba:
26.11.2010. 20:00 @ Muzej suvremene umjetnosti, Zagreb

reprizne izvedbe:
27.-28.11.2010. 22:00 @ Muzej suvremene umjetnosti, Zagreb
(različito vrijeme!)

Točka sabiranja koreografski je eksperiment zadržavanja u suvišku gdje komunikacija u plesu i o plesu oscilira između iskazivog i neiskazivog: inzistirajući na plesnim sredstvima – strukturirajući intenzitet komunikacijskog šuma – proizvoditi specifične uvjete sporazumijevanja u plesu i sporazumijevanja o plesu. Da bi se sporazumjelo bit će potrebno pregovarati o uvjetima razumijevanja.

Autorice Zrinka Užbinec i Ana Kreitmeyer to pregovaranje o uvjetima razumijevanja, razumijevanja koje tek treba doći do sporazumijevanja, provode kroz seriju mutacija plesnog izraza. Jednostavnu početnu koreografiju komuniciraju jedna drugoj kroz plesne pregovore, sporazumijevanja i nesporazume tijekom kojih tek uspostavljene geste gube značenja, a povremeni pogledi i znakovi dlana postaju intenziteti koji mijenjaju kontekst, pretvaraju značenja u suvišak.

U procesu “hrapavog” prevođenja plesni izraz jedne tako ostaje izložen stalnoj i neprekinutoj plesnoj interpretaciji druge stvarajući koreografsku situaciju koja više nije locirana na tijelima, već između dvaju tijela. Pokušaj pregovaranja, prevođenja, promašaj, objašnjenje koje nismo tražili, nesporazum, pokušaj subivanja. Točka sabiranja je u oku gledatelja, u iluzornoj daljini gdje se dvije paralelne linije sijeku u beskonaćnosti.
