The new project by choreographer Alice Minar explores what a human touch leaves behind in a person. Through both real and imagined contact between human bodies, she creates delicate emotional interplays that resonate deeply with the dancers.

Point of Touch plays with closeness and distance of movement, touch, thought, and feeling. In the piece, the dancers draw closer and drift apart, both physically and metaphorically. Distance is a stronger motif than touch itself.

Review

"For me, Dancetopia is more than a festival. It is a community of people who want to think about art, about dance, about where dance can take place, in what kinds of spaces, and under what conditions.", - Lucia Kašiarová.

"Dance is still a marginalized and narrowly defined art form,” says Isabel Lewis. “That is one of the reasons I accepted the role of Co-Artistic Director of Tanzquartier Wien: to advocate for dance as a contemporary cultural practice that can speak to and actively participate in contemporary discourse. The problem is not that the field lacks brilliant ideas, brilliant artists, researchers, or articulate voices. I believe this marginalization is connected to a European cosmology that still carries a fear of the body—a fear of its unruliness, because the body exceeds standardization and control.

Rather than attempting to represent nature on stage, they transpose what they have learned from the forest to their bodies. The result is a performance where bodies move fluently and with stress, where we hear bodies singing and screaming.

Review

It is an audience friendly and fairly accessible approach, which is by no means a drawback, the inspiration taken from the artworks is evident, and the audience can recognize which works the dancers are engaging with at any given moment and entering into dialogue with.
