During the residency Andrea Zavala will experiment with frontality and immersion as mutually constitutive erotic events of theatre.
By prioritizing volume rather than surface in a frontal theatre setup she will work towards developing a visual concept for the dance performance mixed feelings.
In collaboration with Adriano Wilfert Jensen she will develop the setting for this performance, and she will be in conversation with Alissa Šnaider Style Choreographer about the styling of the performance.
Andrea Zavala is a choreographer, performer and visual artist who has been based between Amsterdam, Brussels and Madrid who graduated from the SNDO, Amsterdam and the BA Fine Arts, Universidad Complutense Madrid. Her practice unfolds at the intersection of dance, performance, the visual arts and theatre, in the gap where the body manifests as an artistic and critical device. Andrea has moved from drawing and painting into film, and is now following her fascination of how to stage where this mediums intersect. As a choreographer she facilitates the tensions between these intersections for the exposure of the “not yet”, architectural voids and ethics emerging in front of who is watching and who is watched. Her works have been presented at Tanzquartier, Wien, La Casa Encendida, Dansmakers, Amsterdam, Over Het IJ Festival, Frascati Theater, Veem House for Performance, Teatro Pradillo Madrid, Uferstudios Berlin, Les Urbaines, Reykjavík Art Museum, Xiamen Culture and Art Center China, amongst others.
