«I Noticed» Poetry and Dance

«I Noticed» is a piece that I created last year and has been selected to participate in two International Choreographic Competitions! It is a choreography with four dancers where poetry and dance create a dialogue between the oral language and the movement. Delicate and mysterious in the beginning, the dancers find the way to translate the text into their bodies creating emotions with it, by noticing their own thoughts and fears.

« (…) I noticed my own heart beating, breath passing through my nostrils

my feet walking, eyes seeing,

(…) I noticed the sea, I noticed the music – I wanted to dance.»

De: Allen Ginsber; «On the Cremation of Chogyam Trungpa VIdyadhara» (1987), Cosmopolitan Greetings: Poems 1986-1992 by Allen Ginsberg.

Last year «I Noticed» participated in the prestigious Certamen Coreográfico de Madrid «Paso a Dos» and it was awarded with a scholarship for the Choreographic Research week en B-Motion, Bassano del Grappa.

And this summer will participate in:

«Certamen Internacional de Coreografía Burgos New York»

«Copenhaguen International Choreographic Competition»

This Competitions has showcased performances from more than 35 countries and given selected choreographers the opportunity to present their work in a state of the art facility before a jury of recognized and distinguished members of the dance world. Exposure from this Competitions showcases has launched the careers of many talented artists!!!

Both Competitions cover the accommodation, but not the travel costs!! And it is a lot of many for us to pay the travel costs to Burgos (Spain) and Copenhaguen (Denmark) of four people for this two competitions. That is why your help is so important to us!! Even the smallest contribution will be a BIG support for us!

What we will do with your support?

With your support we will be able to cover the travel expenses of 4 dancers to travel from different places of Europe to Burgos (Spain) where the first competition take place end of July. And as well the flight tickets from Spain to Copenhaguen and the coming back from that competition, in the beginning of August.
