PUZZLE WORK
[DANCE] by playing, organizing and reorganizing your body in simple, more complex and in many different ways it allows you to keep playful all the time while dancing.
[HOW COLOURFULL YOUR DANCING CAN BE?]
The body functions the way we wish or rather how we allow it to function This game of Puzzle Work is a never-ending process and a never-ending game if we wish so and allow it to be. Each body has its own BALANCE, its own LOGIC and its own LIMITATIONS. I feel lucky today to be discovering where my balance is and where my limitations are and how I can transform and integrate that in my dancing.
[MOVEMENT COMBINATIONS]
Anton Lachky – Puzzle Work If I take 6 different numbers compared to the lock of a bike, the variety of number combinations is endless – that's how we keep our bike safe. DANCING IS NOT THE NUMBER and WE ARE NOT THE BIKE LOCK but with 6 different movements, we can play an endless game with the body depending on the order of movements. How large is the scale of our movement? That's where ENDLESSNESS steps in. How many possibilities do we have? As I mentioned before we are not a bike lock and movements are not numbers but with what speed frame, size, texture, intension and in which context and most importantly with what FEELING do we move?
