Two solos by Megan Bridge and Zornitsa Stoyanova | Двe сола на Меган Бридж и Зорница Стоянова
(English below)
// Вечер на нови и експериментални соло изпълнения от Меган Бридж (САЩ) и Зорница Стоянова(БГ/САЩ). Меган ще представи Морфична резонанс (Morphic Resonance), а Зорница ще представи работа в процес, наречена Брутална искреност (Brutal Honesty).
Морфична резонанс е процес, при който самоорганизиращи се системи наследяват памет от предишни подобни системи. В този танц, изпълнен от Меган Бридж с оригинална музика на нейния партньор Питър Прайс, тялото резонира със звука, пространството и това, което го заобикаля в момента. Прайс създава амбиентни, дрониращи електронни звуцови платна. Бридж, от своя страна, създава движещи се светове като архитектури, които са едновременно кинестетично обширни и движeнчески прецизни.
(20 минути)
Стоянова ще представи откъс от своята работа в процес – Brutal Honesty (Брутална искреност/истина), която пройзлиза от имрповизационната практика включваща танц, говорене и пеене с цел да не се цензурира. Чрез разказване на истории и показване на силата в уязвимостта, Стоянова разказва за научения срам и пълното самоприемане. Това соло подтиква към въпросите, както всъшност е личната истина и до колко фантастична е тя.
(20 до 30 минути).
// На 6 и 7 май BodyMeld – experimental contemporary dance platform гостува на ТаМ Велико Търново с два танцови спектакъла и движенчески уъркшоп, водени от американската хореографка Мегън Бридж и Зорница Стоянова.

//Dancing the NOW
An evening of new and experimental solo performances by Megan Bridge (USA) and Zornitsa Stoyanova. Megan will perform her improvised solo Morphic Resonance and Zornitsa will offer a work-in-progress showing of her ongoing performance research called Brutal Honesty.
Morphic resonance is a process where self-organizing systems inherit a memory from previous similar systems. In this piece danced by Megan Bridge with original music by her partner, Peter Price, the body resonates with the sound, the space, and the here and now that surround it. Price creates ambient, droning electronic soundscapes, punctuated by percussive loops. Bridge in turn builds movement worlds like architectures that are both kinesthetically expansive and minutely precise. (20min)
Stoyanova will show an excerpt from her work in progress – Brutal Honesty, which involves dancing, talking, and singing with the goal of not censoring oneself. Through storytelling and showing strength in vulnerability, Stoyanova brings up questions about the fantasy surrounding our personal truths, working with ideas of learned shame and self-acceptance. (20 to 30min)
// On May 6 and 7, BodyMeld – an experimental contemporary dance platform is visiting TaM Veliko Tarnovo with two dance performances and a movement workshop led by the American choreographer Megan Bridge and Zornitsa Stoyanova.
