Q Dance Company (South Korea) presents 1℃ at Spring Forward 2022 on 29 April.
1℃
Three women constantly fly and fall and fly again. 1℃ is the temperature that draws a line between frozen suspension and the continuity of living. Here the women overcome the trap of life’s stagnant moments with a continuous flow of long jumps, high jumps and pole vaults in an infinity of time and space. But emotions and ambitions emerge from the kinetic energy of their bodies, rising and falling, confirming their presence in the real world.
“Exploring the energy of the body”
Q Dance Company creates experimental works from observations on the body. As ‘Q’ of the dance company’s name means a unit of enormous energy, the company strives to explore movement energy and invent creative language of the body through transforming the image of body into varied forms of movement. Currently, they are working on a motion method that motivates movement according to the subject of the work, and creating close relationships with the object and expressing the visual image through light. Q Dance Company has presented works such as 1℃, Tete-A-Tete, Never-Never Land, Missing Link, Boooooooom! and SOS.
