The View From Here

The View From Here, a comission by Tilman O'Donnell for Skånes Dansteater, presents a community of dancers entangled with and defining procedures of change – corporeal, spatial, and temporal.

The work presupposes that what constitutes us as human subjects most vibrantly are the thresholds and transitions of our lives, and not a fixed notion of self and other. In dancing the periphery to center stage, a distinct musicality and timing is produced, captured by microphone and mixed in real time into rhythm and melody.
