Audience discussion
What moves us within a group? What moves a group?
From the moment we are born, each of us moves within different groups and communities during our developement. Therefore, we find ourselves confronted with mechanisms, expectations and practices of group dynamics and have to act accordingly. ”It Contains Hard Parts” is centered around group dynamics and the individual’s behavior in different communities. Its central interest lies in the socio-political tension between an individual and a group, focusing on how this duality manifests in the body and is negotiated in physical interactions. The piece is implemented with a young team of four dancers. Together with them, we analyze diverse social situations from the aspect of the relation between an individual and the group, and how it can be displayed through a composed choreography.
