A Duet for Two Dancers by Jaana Vähä-Antila (1993) 11´40
Complexity lies in simplicity.
Focus is in the space-
between the two dancers and the surrounding space.
To some extent, the timing is set, but accurate timing and rythm are meant to develop naturally, organically, as a result of the toughts which the dancers have while making specific movements.
As the dance develops, in particular towards the end, it becomes strongly obvious that it is actually a sense of time which is the ultimate force and motive in the dance.
As the dance proceeds there emerges an abstract, clear idea, which was not consciously fed into the material and stucture of the dance. But since an intuition of the idea was present while creating the dance, it eventually gets a concrete form and becomes perceivable.
