Floating points
Samory Ba, Oktawia Ścibior
Slippery Art Project
What is the starting point of this project?
The project confronts the body with two opposing phenomena—slip and grounding—to offer a reflection on the nomadic condition of the contemporary individual in a world where our points of reference are constantly shifting.
What is its specific feature?
Floating points presents a unique choreographic language by repurposing roller skates and crutches, transforming them into unexpected dance partners.
Why participate in the Danse élargie competition?
The competition supports the emergence of a dance form that transcends traditional boundaries, which resonates with our artistic exploration. It provides a unique platform that gives visibility to the work we are developing.
Originally competitive figure skaters, Oktawia Scibior and Samory Ba have developed a choreographic practice based on the phenomenon of gliding. Drawing on research into movement in skating, their work explores hybrid physicalities.
