BODIES IN TRANSITION
How is the body shaped by being seen, and how does it become itself again in movement?
Bodies in Transition is a choreographic work exploring the relationship between body, image, and time. Drawing from paintings and sculptures across different historical periods, the work investigates how the body becomes fixed as an image within visual culture, where and when it begins to transform and evolve, and how it is released again through dance into a state of flux.
During the creative process, the focus gradually shifted from cultural comparison toward an investigation of the threshold where image generates body: when a static bodily image enters time, how does it begin to move, disintegrate, reassemble, and generate new choreographic logics.
Dancers work from their individual embodied histories, continuously negotiating between collective structures and personal differences, allowing movement to emerge as an ongoing process rather than a fixed form of expression.
