PROJECT
New Ocean
The ballet is based on Merce Cunningham's "Ocean" and uses a custom algorithm to translate climate records into choreography. This system combined the dancers in different ways for each performance, allowing them the freedom to create the piece in the moment.
New Ocean has been nominated for the Faust Prize 2020.

PROJECT
New Ocean Sea Cycle
In response to the corona pandamic and the limitations of the audience, new ocean has been reworked into a new form - somewhere between a dance installation and a durational performance. Extended over several hours, the choreography becomes a meditative experience for both audience and dancers.
Sound, light and video were choreographed live, constantly creating new atmospheres.
