PULSATIONS

Choreographed by Megan Curet

Performers: Ann-Marie Gover, Fernando Moya Delgado, Megan Curet and Maria Vittoria Villa

Music Credit: Johnny Greenwood, Lunar Plane, Hidden Orchestra, Grupo Afro Boricua, Los Pleneros de la Cresta and Kanye West

How does a pulsation initiate the body to respond and react, in response how can such extreme movement actions engage the audience to respond and react? How does movement and sound create space for communing? How can communing be centered in the setting of the proscenium? Shall we do away with this setting to create more space for communing? Shall I explore the space of both? Pulsation is a throbbing, repeating rhythm, like the pulsation of your blood in your ears when you're running or the pulsation of music in a loud dance club. It will be a one hour examination of various movement dialogues and stories that focus on the theme of pulsations within and outside of the body.

As part of its "12th Annual Bronx Artists Now: Showcase & Conversation", Pepatián presents "Bronx Botánica," a sharing of new live dance works by Bronx-based choreographers in the Dancing La Botánica project.

PREMIERED IN AUGUST FOR PREGONES STAGE GARDEN RUMBA. SUPPORTED BY PEPATIAN AS PART OF DANCING LA BOTANICA COLLECTIVE. DANCES MEGAN CURET AND FERNANDO MOYA DELGADO. CHOREOGRAPHED BY MEGAN CURET.

This work examines the amends we have been CONDITIONED to receive while creating space to shift the perspective unto those amends we DESERVE to receive. How does our tender nature make that possible? Repetition as a spiritual trigger must then trigger us to connect to what already exists within ourselves. Percussion, pulsations and rhythmic patterns...the original language we speak.
