COMMISSIONED BY CIPLAK AYAKLAR KUMPANYASI
AND ARTER SANAT GALERISI (ISTANBUL)
‘data shadow’ (golge veri) is choreographed by melih kirac (ciplak ayaklar kumpanyasi) as a part of arter istanbul’s performance programme curated by selen ansen and the rehearsal process of the project is lensed by me. ⁣
‘data shadow’ inquires the relationship between dance and memory by inviting the audience to experience dance as the performance of memory. taking its cue from personal memories and setting the collective memory of dance into motion, the choreography brings on stage the recording and the transmission of dance from the past to the future while drawing attention to the transience of every movement made. ⁣
contemplating on dance as an artistic discipline which is impossible to conserve in its entirety due to its transient character, ciplak ayaklar kumpanyasi imagines the possibility for multiple memories and moments which exist independently to constitute part of a single narrative in the future. ⁣
