Where does movement originate?
How can we inhabit the poetry of a body in motion?
Why question our way of doing Dance?
How are personal and collective imaginations
manifested there?
Drawing from contact improvisation technique, Christine proposes a physical training that allows form to be reached from the collective consciousness of the individual dance, and through the evolving dialogue of its participants.
Focal points of the practice include flow, relationships with gravity (and other mechanical forces), the challenges of body-to-body exchange, environment/context,
and the narrative potential of Dance.
Bollousa’s main goal is to transmit, with this practice best allowing her to do so.
While her methods may clash with more traditional form-based approaches, she considers this technique not only an easier method for transmission, but also a more effective, and even kinder, one. Her practice allows for bodies to reach otherwise unknown places and for the inherent dramaturgy of the dance to speak unfiltered.
Her dance is one of relationships and communication, where she can be captivated by the poetry already inside people: their anger, fear, rejection, non-acceptance, limits and accomplishments .
That for her is life and art alike.
Nothing needs to be told, and no artifice added, beyond the inherent dramaturgy of the Dance itself: This dramaturgy stemming from the relationships (in all their complexity and richness) already contained within.
