Performance Art Project
COINCIDANSE Ecole Nomade de Danse Swiss
in Collaboration with NEG-UUDEL Mongolian Performance Art Group
Regular participants of Atelier de Danse Improvisée - Method Giussipina Manta - COINCIDANSE Ecole Nomade de Danse in Switzerland launched this project in collaboration with NEG-UUDEL for the first time in Mongolia in 2024. The project is set to continue on an annual basis.
In the vastness of space, nomads roam their pastureland, where free animals wander freely. We celebrate the beauty of everything in its rightful moment.
Free like fire, shaping its strength intelligently,
Free like earth, holding all the balance in its tenacious force.
Perform creativity that reflects the essence.
Countless grains of sand by the sea, with each tiny particle holding a story of life. The existence of a single grain...
As the horizon touches the earth, a serene stillness envelops the universe. Acknowledging the onset of a new cycle, it seeks solace in the enchanting glow of countless stars. From the dunes of the horizon, new life emerges. Oh, Sun, how you and illuminate all of creation. We cherish you.
Elemental Journey
The tree stretches upward into the sky. The air inside the tree escapes, while its branches extend into the atmosphere, cradling the air within. In this moment, it transforms into a breath.
Performance: Soft hardness
Concept: Contemplating the winter on the Mongolian steppe, we found a soft hardness that transported us.
Deep blue sky.
White steppe with dry snow.
We are the unlimited space right now.
The open space and its gentle hills are full of deep beauty, but life is hard in these places, far from our comfort in the cities.
Physically, the heart feels liberated, we breathe much more calmly, and we question life with a deeper contemplation.
Then life goes on as we are part of this gentle hardness.
We like to experience it, so we dance. We perform our moment with joy.
...soft hardness...
