Screws

With Screws Alexander Vantournhout elaborates on his long-term research into the relationship between bodies and objects.

Alexander Vantournhout & Stanislav Dobak - Screws 16:9

How far does the autonomy of a human body extend? In a series of short microperformances Vantournhout explores the boundaries between the body and its surroundings, by attaching objects as prostheses to the performers, or by using an object as a co-performer.

Titles such as Object as projectile, Ice shoes, Wall Quartet / Bending Space, Use of the wall in the choreography or Anti-gravityboots provide a playful insight into the strategies that lie behind Vantounhout's choreography. The work is also a reference to iconic performances from the seventies by Trisha Brown (Walking on the Wall, Spiral, Roof Piece), Merce Cunningham and Johann Le Guillerm.
