The unfinished
Choreographed and performed by Katie Kelly
Inspired by the poem titled ‘The unfinished’, this contemporary dance solo explores the concept of time. Through movement, I consider what is ever lasting, with that which is meant only to be brief and fleeting, and if and how there is any overlap. Particularly focusing on the words: Is it unfinished or is it endless? The work blends music, sounds and readings of the poem, to create a collaboration and exploration into time.

Taurinas
Choreographed by Camila Araya
Performed by Javiera Guerra, Dicle Yilmaz and Camila Araya
The bull or as I have called it “La TaurA” appears. This kind and strong animal only attacks when it is hurt. Three women embody “Las Taurinas” based on the archetype of Taurus. Although I consider myself as a woman and feminist, I wanted to show just a body in struggle. I think recognizing ourselves as equals where we all feel pain and fear generates empathy, because we can all identify with this term regardless of our gender.
The aim of this work is to show the injustices as a contemporary problematic through the honesty of the body in movement.
