ECO MOVEMENTS (2023)
dance project focused on climate anxiety and how climate resilience can be achieved through dance and movement.
the artistic research resulted in two choreographic eco-performative installations and a videoperformance, as well as ecoperformance workshops and conferences.
In the current context, deeply marked by the environmental crisis (the crisis of the relationship with the environment), climate anxiety is increasingly common. The term “eco-anxiety” has taken shape in the field of psychiatry since 2017. Addressing these concerns, Plastic Art Performance proposes choreographic/performative movement methods and techniques, which can be adopted on an individual level and can become a resource for acquiring climate resilience.
The “Eco Movements” project will translate the vision, the conceptual framework and the eco-performance method into a choreographic plan, focusing on interconnectivity, the fusion between the natural environment and the body as two inseparable dimensions of the choreographic creation.
“Eco Movements” is the artistic manifesto of the performer-dancers: Alina Tofan (concept director & ecoperformer), Alina Ușurelu, Ioana Buraga, Wura Moraes and choreographer Momo Peter Sanno. They are joined by GCV (costume & set design ), Larisa Tofan (costume assistant), Gabriel Durlan (cinematography), Alexandru Claudiu Maxim (video editing), Teo Rădulescu (sound design), Sebastian Dobrescu (workshop trainer).
