This group of dancers gave an improvisation performance on Saturday night at Carriageworks. Bodyweather is a methodology of movement has been created by Tess De Quincey having its foundation based on the interelationship of the body with the landscape. Having its conceptual origins coming from a mix of Butoh (Japanese Contemporary Dance) and other Western ideas of dance and movement, Bodyweather aims to enliven new sensorial experiences of the body in an environment. The workshops are very much located in a site-specific natural landscapes, where the body explores its own existence with natural land that it rests upon.
The improvised performance at Carriageworks was a fascinating investigation in responsive environments that we create as humans interacting with each other.It was an improvised sequence of movements defined by the methodology of body studies that these dancers train in. Rather than a choreographed sequence, this improvised performance kept each dancer in complete awareness of each other and their reaction/response was borne from an immediate spontaneous present. The dancers created the responsive environment between themselves, and in this case, the site-specific objects, surfaces and volume of the Carriageworks studio.
