TRACE
Nominated for the APCA Award for Choreography | Creation (2024)
Denilto Gomes Dance Award – Dance Creation Modes (2024)
SYNOPSIS
Fragments of time in a spiral. A trace of movement, of memory, and of repetition. How does the body throw itself into a relationship with what it creates? It is the presence of an absence. Moments that have already passed and continue to slip away. A trace also of the future, an echo that announces itself before the sound. A trace as something that precedes and follows an action, while simultaneously becoming a memory of what is already gone.
Vestiges, marks, waves, reverberations, tracks, presences, ghosts, events. Trace as a path of sweat running down the body. It is a flash of the now that has passed. Trace as choreography that dialogues with every space; Trace as a crossing and as a shadow that takes shape through the insistence of repetition. Trace as presence: of a dance of the now, of the diversity of bodies, of T.F. Dance Company’s ways of making-thinking-feeling-acting.
“The past becomes our source of inspiration; the present, an arena of respiration;
and the future, our collective aspiration” – Ngugi wa Thiong’o.
