Untitled - Steel bar (extended)

Inkörper
What is the starting point of this project?
I started with the desire to create a dialogue between the body and an object that acts both as a constraint and an extension. I also wanted to create a moment of hypnotic contemplation that would lead to an imaginary journey.
What is its specific feature?
Three dancers spin continuously on their axes, holding a 4-metre steel bar. In an extremely slow motion, each performs a precise sequence of arm movements, angles and twists, while their interactions remain unpredictable.
Why participate in the Danse élargie competition?
I would like to confront my project with a stimulating environment that is propitious to its development and visibility.
