Schad’s investigation into nudity and landscape as a relationship between self and group, skin and environment began with her work Pieces and Elements (2016). The continuation of skin from one body to another corresponds to an understanding of the self as extending/mirroring infinitely through others and the environment. It is an energetic principle which follows the law of attraction: a mirror reflects back, vibrates and attracts what is sent out. We are all infinitely reflecting and being reflected.
Drawing on principles anchored in Zen, somatics, qi gong, aikido and breathing techniques, the choreographic material is detached from a classical stage context and unfolds its power as a durational installation performance. Individual sequences from existing pieces are selected, recombined or created anew, facilitating close-up miniatures of flow. In this process the sensorially perceptible qualities of movement are worked like sculpture. The audience is invited to inhabit a space where theatrical conventions are blurred, and to immerse themselves in a timeless experience.
