ERMIRA GORO

MEETINGS

OCTOBER 5th

With the desire to create a collective experience that values diversity and redefines the notion of power and beauty, Ermira Goro creates “Meetings” of very different people – gender, ethnicity, body, age, ability –Through this artistic endeavor, the aim is to detach viewers from associating dance solely with youthful, muscular, trained, “perfect” bodies.

How does one endure or enrich a movement from the peculiarities of each body? How does an “‘untaught’” body transform from a movement or rhythm that does not belong to its everyday vocabulary? What feelings can be caused by this almost voyeuristic matching?

Through the exploration of individuality and personal kinesiological expression, as well as the complexity and diversity of the performers bodies, “Meetings” leads viewers to distinguish parts of their own selves on stage, and to review parts of his own self and to review what “right” and “appropriate” means.
