nights around counting steps (and fade to black)

Nele Tiidelepp

Nele Tiidelepp’s performance "nights around counting steps (and fade to black)" is a process of exploring the possibilities of finding rhythm and falling out of it through dance and choreography.

Rhythm is a way of dividing time, accompanied by emotional implications. Rhythm is a time-space surrounded by beats. What happens during a beat is clear. What remains between two beats is a blank space, something to be filled in. When we count: one and two and three and... We are interested in the "and."

Four performers speak and dance, try to remember the past, copy each other, move through space with momentum, carry on and repeat. While we dance, we ask ourselves: which choreographies do we remember from our lives? What kind of dances are we allowed to perform?
