HOLDS
NO MEMORY
Performer: Ana Sánchez-Colberg
Choreography: Efva Lilja
Soundscore: Tommy Zwedberg,
A solo that draws a personal portrait of a dancer wanting to forget in
order to be able to move on. Holds no memory is a dance about desire -
fulfilled and unfulfilled…a dance about growing older and never
giving up.
HOLDS NO MEMORY
Ana Sánchez-Colberg and Theatre enCorps returned to The Place to
be among the 37 contemporary dance artists chosen to take part in Choreodrome
2005, The Place’s biennial Summer research project. The project
Holds no memory is a collaboration with veteran Swedish choreographer
Efva Lilja.
The project is a dialogue in art, about the role of memory inscribed in
the body and the effect of that inscription on how movement develops into
a language of performance.
In the project these
issues include the mature artists’ attitude towards her memory/body,
how that shapes identity, as well as the socio-cultural parameters that
circumscribe age/movement/expression within society generally and dance
culture specifically. The title of the R&D “Holds no memory”
articulated as negative, aims to re-evaluate the act of re-inscription,
examining memory as something that shapes a future potential as opposed
to re-articulating past. Central to the R&D is the fact that two artists
in very different stages of their careers are coming together. This ‘difference’
marks two different perspectives, two differently inscribed bodies, and
two different kinaesthetics embedded in the work itself as it generates
its particular kinaesthetics at the moment of performance.
