Performing Water: Site-specific dance-making as liquid art

View through CrossRef
The Remnant Dance Project, Culaccini, developed site-specific dance movement in response to the waters of the Taleggio Valley, Italy, during the Nature, Art and Habitat Residency (NAHR) (2018). The intention was to respond to the Enna River system through documenting dance movement made in the region via film, photography and reflective writing. The practice-led research process was shared on the daily blog, ‘The drop of the day’. At the close of the NAHR, a short dance film, Performing Water, was made to further interrogate the nature of site-specific dance-making in water and the notion of what constitutes ‘site-dance’ in this context. In our journey of water-dance discovery, unique marks have remained on each other, the site and on things we have made, like the traces of a water vessel: culaccini. The dance made for the project was immersive and focused, constructed to invite interpretation through the use of symbolism and imagery. Progetto Culaccini sviluppa un movimento di danza site-specific in risposta alle acque dei torrenti della Val Taleggio, Italia (2018). L’intenzione è quella di rispondere al sistema del torrente Enna documentando il movimento di danza fatto sul luogo attraverso film, fotografia e scrittura riflessiva. Questo processo di ricerca guidato dalla pratica venne condiviso quotidianamente sul blog: La goccia del giorno. Al termine della residenza Natura, Arte e Habitat, la produzione di un cortometraggio di danza ha permesso l’analisi e approfondimento della danza site-specific in acqua e la nozione di ciò che costituisce la ‘danza’ in questo contesto. Nel nostro viaggio di scoperta della danza nell’acqua, segni unici rimangono impressi uno sull’altro, il luogo e le cose che abbiamo fatto, come le tracce di un vessello d’acqua: i culaccini. La danza fatta in questo contesto è stata immersiva e focalizzata; costruita per invitare l’interpretazione attraverso l’uso di simbolismo e immagini.
