The performance that I choose it's a solo. This solo called "Para Ti Para Mim" in English, For You For Me, was created and interpreted by Elisabeth Lambeck a choreographer, dancer and teacher, This performance give rise in Teatro Campo Alegre in Portugal in September of 2014 and I will pay again a ticket to see this performance again, for sure.
Something that I found really curious, defferent and true was the fact than when the audience entered in the space, the dancer was already on stage. While she stretch, se received the audience with a smile, looking eye to eye for each person, something that make me feel very welcome. Her costumes were clothes from the daily life, normal costumes, and this makes the performance even more casual.
In this solo, the interpret showed having an artistic vein very versatile, because she dance, she talk and she sing. This junction of elements make a lot of sense and i think that wasn't uninteresting or to much things at the same time.
"A lot of it is to do with delicacy, with small gestures and still being able to punch..." says Ohad Naharin.
This sentence that Ohad Naharin says when describe Gaga Technique it's a perfect sentence to qualify the movements of the dancer. A personal delicacy, with an inner strength and the junction of gestures that were repeated during the choreography are characteristics that follow the movement of the dancer. The reason that I choose this phrase from Ohad Naharin it's because the movements of the interpret are purely inspired in Gaga Technique. This technique was develop by Ohad Naharin with Batsheva Dnce Company.
During the performance, the interpret talks about his past loves and, describe the story that she lived with each lover. Because it's a creation and a solo I think the artist puts her personal and intimate side in the choreography. In my opinion when we make our own solo we don't need to put something intimate there, but the creative take this option and it was very visible because the words are more clear than movements.
Her music choice goes from Vitor Joaquim a portuguese musician of eletronic music, intil a extensive range of love songs like "I will always love you"- Whitney Houston; "Together forever"- Rick Astley and "Love me tender" - Elvis Presley, music that she makes her own interpretation.
I think Love it's the best word to describe this performance. Resuming, the artist received us with love and gave us love during the solo, because a lot of times it's what we lack in our daily life, LOVE!!!!
