Boglárka Börcsök / Discounts

By counting each movement I create a strict system for improvisation. Even if the material is set it functions as a score where spotenious, unexpected elements, mistakes are eventually become part of the stucture. The logic of the solo is established from the beginning therefore is readable on purpose for the audiance what tools I’m playing with.
This rigidness gives a lot of possibilities to find different layers in the performance and the hightened awareness on each movement drives the attention to details that leads the audience to zoom deeper and deeper into the action. But what can they consider as A movement?
Part of their work is to navigate themselves through the system of counts, and figure out this question that has been put in front of them: What can they consider as a movement? For the material I’ve been resarching on different undertanding of the body in relation to a single count. It gives a texture to each section in articulating their approaches from each other.
The audience put to a place where they can formulate their opinions about each action on stage and they can disagree as well- all these contraditions are serving the piece on a performative level to execute an impossible task.
