“A touch provokes the separation between me and you and gives the possibility of creating a third space.”
Touch Tissue Fabric dance performance deals with “a meeting point”. The two dancers open up a meeting point as a space that calls for co-creation and necessitates an external space. It nevertheless also touches and changes internal spaces. It is a kind of movement, a state of deep mutual sensory-mental-motoric concentration, responding to all the elements.
The Touching project is part of a series of Dialogues by Snježana Premuš. Touching is a research and unconventional dance project that addresses the viewer holistically, through physical as well as cognitive channels signified by open choreographic formats.
The well-renowned artists with extensive formal education and years of expertise in contemporary dance and somatics established the foundation for the advancement of dance somatics and the evolution of dance aesthetics in Slovenia.
