Shimatò Live Theater

Choreographic material personally created and produced during my first long period of study, research and application in the field of performing arts, then collected in a new unique design which keeps together some constitutional elements of more classical and modern dance techniques with other experienced techniques of improvisation and instant composition that better express the nature of what is really personal and non countable. With its specific now rough now more refined quality of movement, my own body is the instrument that through multiple selected music sounds, noises and other elements of the landscape gets to have a relation with them independently from a strict narrative form but according to natural consonance with the personal intimate perception of what is beauty.

In a certain sense, the present collection is a synthesis that tries also to document all the blanks and the cuts, the chosen ones and those established by somebody unfamiliar or something else. The whole operation originally performed is intended to translate states of held memories and old sensations and represents the basis for new eventual pieces of art work that may include more definite, conscious and constant presence.

The second collection is a clearer definition of my personal artistic sign and signature style. The characteristic engagement of this collection can be identified in the peculiar study of the significant and accurate gesture in wordless performance, in the suspension of more traditional conquests of space and time. The non conventional movement between the perception of lightness and heaviness, through a human figure, in its liquid or more palpable form, that tries as far as possible to show the personal expression of the original body. The term promontory is to be intended both in its anatomic and geographical sense, where the connection with the known sources of light is not always explicit. Spoken lines try to document the more probable Status through the witness of one field of dialogic and clever interpretation. Live performance in the best resolution enhances its most immediate atmosphere. The contemporaneity lies in the ‘shortcomings’ of the reproducibility on stage. The destined camera keeps the immediacy of the open performance even though in a different dimension. Photography and graphic design produce partly autonomous interpretations of the study material providing it with multiple and eye-catching variations.
