ECTO–FICTIONS
group, commission
2022
An inter-dependency that is needed
for everyone to be able to move,
move closer, move in,
and move apart.
Sensitivity to a presence that is not merely alongside, but an attention that notices the subtlest changes in mimic and expression, posture and tone.
A being, present.
For his group choreography Ecto-Fictions, Ian Kaler revisited his 2010 graduation production Save a horse ride a cowboy. Kaler, who found his love for horses at the age of 6. The PARASOL participants explored connections between his choreographic work and the interaction, (non-verbal) communication with horses and contextualized them within the movement practice of riding.
Ecto-Fictions develops a fictitious documentary stage narrative that addresses questions concerning togetherness and cohesion. The title already alludes to the quality of an ‘external’ perception and reflects on processes of projection and ascription in the interaction and encounter with animals. Ecto-Fictions represents the attempt to create a space for enhanced and utopian visions of corpo*realit*ies, where attributions and classifications can be studied.
