Frame is a structure that gives shape. A creation and a restriction,

The initial research started from a very different perspective than what the piece is about now. The first idea concerned the clothing and the impressions it has been impregnated with, as well as the ideas and the restrictions we have embossed them.

The first moving language I experiment with among others was the walking. Working upon this subject, i almost immediately faced the loads of information that the performers' bodies were embodied.

We ended up working for two years with this principle mostly and it became a fundamental element of the piece. Walking naturally,walking and counting, walking in clear shapes and forms, creating relations between the bodies and creating awareness of what is happening. If there is a goal, that is to create active, yet simple proposals that can both motivate and embrace something new wile restraining unity. At that point, we had the structure upon which we could create a vocabulary with many possibilities.

During the process of creation some beautiful performers shared their time and energy with me for two years more or less, in order to create a motion language, a vocabulary and especially a space for ‘reframing’ to exist .
