Pausing
2012
from image to feeling
from idea to sensation
from rhythm to quality
from intellect to intuition.
to observe while feeling
to be moved while touching
to wander while wondering
to follow the way while pausing.
Pausing explores the unfragmented body that moves for movement’s sake. This piece floats between dance and movement, shifting between imaginative scenarios and glimpses of reality. The duo Ioannis Mandafounis / May Zarhy creates a personal account of intimacy, inviting us to touch the ephemeral for just a slight moment — and pause there.
