Site specific Performances
In situ performances
Company Irene K. offers many in-situ performances tailored to specific
sites. Creations proposed - solo, duo, trio - adapt, create and enrich
themselves in contact with different spaces. Choreographies could be performed outdoor in an open space, a park, through
a street or created for a more sheltered space such as a theatre, a church, a
monastery, any interesting building on an architectural point of view… The choreography has to take care to develop the architectural atmosphere
by building an opposition, a confrontation or a possible co-existence with the
specific place where the performance will be danced.
The spectators will than discover the particularity of the chosen territory
while the inhabitants will rediscover their daily perspectives transformed or
newly animated for a short moment.
Musicians may accompany for a stroll and take
care of developing the theme of the choreography connected to the architecture
even more and invites the public to follow.
Performances on demand
Besides the repertoire and analogous to the “normal” performances, the Irene K. Company offers performances made to measure. These are creations we make up especially for you.
Enlivening places, making them experience another pace of existence, is one
of the striking forces of the choreographer, the dancers and the musicians.
Neither the locality (merchant places, shopping halls, museums or factories),
nor the occasion matter (inaugurations, opening festivities, anniversary
celebrations, …)
The place is being animated by a performance, the specificity of which is
that the dancers adapt themselves to the form and shape of the room or the
area, as well as to the furniture and other devices that make the place
particular. Music is usually played live. The performances can
be acted out once or several times in regular intervals.
