The studies on Bach are a training ground for choreography – an ever-changing, always-evolving choreutic space.
The choreographic challenge is to give visual and dynamic concreteness to the emotion expressed by each note, capturing the nuances of Bach’s music by translating into dance the process of emotional analysis suggested by the musical score. The violence and sweetness arising from the vibration of sound find physical correspondence, generating dances that travel through worlds of new carnal frequencies.

The live music sews the dancer’s epidermis to the space, pushing them to a more radical level of interpretation and listening. At the same time, the air moved by the bodies impacts the musicians, making the effect of dance on sound itself tangible.
