Epic Variations (2023)
For the graduating class of BA in Contemporary dance at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Tehatre
Epic Variations was made in collaboration between the graduating class of the BA in contemporary dance program at LMTA and a choreographer Liza Baliasnaja. Performers share a unique physical language developed in the process a collective movement research based on the study of paintings from 16th and 17th century European art scene. With this vocabulary, we created a bastard version of early court dances, special in their limited movement choices and collective mode of execution.
The work is part of the repertoir of Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.
