tanC: Dance to touch (workshop, lecture, performance)

tanC is an independent art collective and platform for contemporary movement, performance and interdisciplinary experiments. It was created in response to the need to open up space for authentic forms of expression in movement and performance art. The collective connects professional artists from different fields - dance, physical theatre, music, visual arts and education - to create lively, open and socially responsive projects.

tanC is a collective that believes in the arts as a tool for personal and social development. Their aim is to open up questions, break down stereotypes and free people from the fear of the unknown and misunderstood. The collective creates a space for free movement, creativity and dialogue in various forms and comes to Košice with an all-day programme Dance to Touch, which aims to reach out to art school students. TanC does not stay with the classical sharing of its experience on the workshop floor plan, it also offers the sharing of practical information related to the actual realization of artistic projects. It is through the lecture and the subsequent discussion that he wants to motivate the students to take the first independent steps to relay their own ideas. A site-specific dance performance will close the day together.

Zone of Emotion is a site-specific dance performance that explores the theme of distance as a physical, emotional and choreographic principle. The project is based on the need to re-experience the body in space and touch as a fundamental form of interpersonal contact - a sensory moment that is often lost in the accelerated world of digital communication.

The intention of the project is to create a space for 'experience' - where distance, proximity, touch or its absence take on a new meaning. In a zone where everything is not obvious, movement becomes a carrier of meaning and a means of communication. The project invites the viewer to actively observe, perceive and become sensitized through physicality, proximity and sensitivity to the surroundings.

The work uses principles of contemporary dance, contact improvisation, physical theatre and movement research focused on sensory perception. The performer(s) perceive the body as a 'living sensor' that responds to space, distance, touch and the impulses of the audience, blurring the boundary between performer and audience.

Concept, interpretation.
