Jenna Jalonen – RING

What is the origin of ‘dance’? Where does ‘choreography’ come from? What is the significance of an old formation in a contemporary context?

Ritual, ceremony, trans, sacrecy, infinity, torus… Circle, chain, spiral, whirl, cycle, vortex… Bodnár, Csángó, Csárdás, Karikázó… Carole, Branle, Farandole, Zikr, Reigen, Hora, Kolo, Kalamatinos, Syrtos, Serdana… Nanissáanah, An Dro, Dabke, Lawweeh, Khigga, Kochari, Tamzara…

Placing the dancers back to a circle. Exploration of the essence between performing and experiencing. A contemporary homage to our ancestors of dance.
