Swiss/Netherlands choreographer Katja Grässli and Malaysian/Ireland dancer Beh Chin (Jinn) Lau will be in residence at Dance Limerick from 8-13 September.
Their research looks at crossing the border between two identities and multiple cultures and merging experiences from their personal lives to create a sense of belonging together. They will also seek to make a connection between Chinese traditional dance and experimental, theatrical dance to find a new image, a new metaphor, a new story and a new dance language.
This study is inspired by Marc Colpaert’s book “Where Two Seas Meet”, an intercultural dialogue and a process of discovering identity.
““I” is a starting point, a grammatical fact…. “I” as such – that an identity as such – does not exist. It can only exist in relation to others. “I” is constantly interacting with and reacting to the people and the reality which surround “I”. An “I” must involve and must be involved”. (Martin Barber/ Mark Colpaert)
