Imagine a person in a ballet or contemporary dance piece. Are you thinking of a non-white person? A dancer who is not very thin? A disabled person? What images are called up in your mind's eye and what spaces might emerge if we free ourselves from normative ideas?
Loosely basing their work on William Forsythe, the mixed abled team T.I.A., around Frankfurt choreographer Amelia Uzategui Bonilla, dares to interrupt the much-celebrated “Thrill of Exactitude” - both critically and lovingly . In an interdisciplinary and intercultural exchange, they explore new forms of perfection and investigate ways in which dance can function beyond the visual level. Together with a sighted, blind and visually impaired cast, they create a poetic, musical space that dissolves hierarchies of perception and invites everyone to experience dance in its many facets and thrills with expanded senses.
