ICA is closed from the 30 May – 3 June inclusive.
ICA presents the UK premier of Kaisa Nieminen and Marika Peura’s live work down below things shudder. The work explores surrendering to the intimacy of dancing and derives its choreographic material from the context of club and rave culture. With grinding as its movement landscape, five dancers engage in a search of pleasures of the dancing body; sensual and sexual energies, frantic expressions, the thrill of the social play grounded in intimate explorations.
Honey on the rocks, lava in the spine.
Lä-ääh, lä-ääh, uuuh aaah! (or how does one transcribe the ocean?)
Body rolling, body rolling, heavy waves through my muscle tonus.
Eyes low, wavy like the sea, the landscape listens.
Wait, can you feel it?
Another body wave gyrating through me.
I want you to notice it, I made it for you!
My sweat, my lava - a grandiloquent sequence.
Ooops, oh my! Can you come closer?
The name of the piece is from poet Rebecca Tamás’ poem WITCH VOLCANO. (Tamás 2019: 103).
