DANCE POEMS FROM SILENCE
SEVEN CONTINENTS, SEVEN SONGS, SEVEN DANCES
Video concept by Nadina Cojocaru and choreography by Jiří Bubeníček.
“Abandoned places” is the focus of our artistic video project. Dresden is the place we live in and the place we experienced our first lockdown. The idea and the motivation for the project was how to overcome isolation and loneliness in the lockdown through music and dance. The videos explore lost places in Saxony, Germany and we try to bring them attention through our project, to dance them to life again!
In the virtual spotlight, you will be connected to the entire world through international musicians and dancers with different artistic, backgrounds and age. The music was specially composed for the project by different composers and musicians from all 7 continents of our planet. The videos were filmed in LOCKDOWN between 2020-2022.
Supported by the NATIONAL PERFORMANCE NETWORK - STEPPING OUT, funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media within the framework of the initiative NEUSTART KULTUR. Assistance Program for Dance.
